An exciting new entertainment precinct is being planned for the Cairns region. The Cairns Entertainment Precinct, once completed, will provide state-of-the-art facilities for use by the community and visitors alike for generations to come.
For the first time in the region's history people will have a venue of the scale where they can enjoy a variety of attractions which were previously only available in our capital cities.
The Cairns Entertainment Precinct is to be developed by Cairns Regional Council with financial support from the State and Federal Governments.
The first stage of the project is expected to be completed by 2015 at a total cost of $154.6 million dollars.
It will contain an 1100 seat theatre, studio and rehearsal space, an outdoor public plaza, the refurbishment of White’s Shed and car parking space.
The new precinct will be located alongside historic ‘White’s Shed’ close to the international cruise ship terminal on Wharf Street.
Cairns Regional Council will lease the vacant land for the next 99 years for ‘peppercorn’ or nominal rent.
