Cairns Safer Streets

Since 2013, the Cairns Safer Streets initiative has been a collaborative, multi-agency partnership working alongside the west Cairns community to address complex social challenges.

Our co-located workgroup includes representatives from:

• Department of Families, Seniors, Disability Servicesand Child Safety (Project Lead)
• Queensland Police Service 
• Department of Education
• Department of Youth Justice and Victim Support
• Department of Housing and Public Works
• Queensland Corrective Services

Each agency contributes unique expertise, working collectively with local residents and organisations to drive positive change in Mooroobool, Manoora and Manunda. 

The initiative is guided by an Executive Committee of senior decision-makers from each agency, alongside key partners:

• Queensland Health
• Cairns Regional Council
• National Indigenous Australians Agency
• Department of Women, Aboriginal and Torres StraitIslander Partnerships and Multiculturalism

This leadership group ensures strategic alignment,  responsiveness to emerging community needs, and long-term sustainability of our work.
