Extract From the Wikipedia Entry on Cairns The City of Cairns is governed by the Cairns City Council. The Council consists of a Mayor and twelve Councillors. The Mayor is elected by the public, and the Councillors are elected from twelve single member divisions (or wards) using an optional preferential voting system. Elections are held every three years. The current Mayor of Cairns is Cr Kevin Byrne. The Cairns City Council local government area consists of two former local government areas which were amalgamated in 1995. These were the Cairns City Council (consisting of the suburbs listed under ‘Cairns City’ above), and the Mulgrave Shire Council (comprised of the other areas, namely the Northern Beaches, Freshwater and Redlynch Valleys, and Southside). The town of Gordonvale was once called Mulgrave. At the time of amalgamation, Cairns City had a population of approximately 40,000 and Mulgrave Shire had a population of approximately 60,000. Both local government authorities had chambers in the Cairns CBD. The old Cairns City Council chambers located on Abbott Street have been converted into a new city library. The old Mulgrave Shire Chambers were located on the Cairns Esplanade. In a controversial decision [5], new council chambers were constructed on previously industrial contaminated land in the mainly industrial suburb of Portsmith |
