Our region might be characterised by coconut palm lined beaches, tropical islands and waterfalls, but within just two hours of our international airport, you will also find dystopianlooking ghost towns, industrial estates, deep jungle rainforest, railway lines, small towns filled with art deco buildings, farms, rural landscapes, and scenes of suburbia.
Cairns Regional Council is a film-friendly council and we’d love to welcome you. Our team at Council, together with Screen Queensland, can provide a high level of service and connect you into local networks, talent and suppliers. We can assist with filming permits, location advice and local knowledge for any size, scale and type of production. We invite you to browse these location images, see what our region has to offer, and get in touch with our Film Liaison officer for further support and information.
The Cairns region and surrounding areas of Innisfail, Mareeba, Atherton Tablelands, Daintree, and Port Douglas have a uniquely diverse range of landscapes, locations and amenities to suit any film production, all of which are easily accessible. Being a world-class tourist destination, our region also has five-star accommodation, experiences and dining to cater to any exclusive tastes and needs.
You won’t find many places in the world quite like the Cairns region in Far North Queensland as a destination for filming. We have an unparalleled quality and variety of landscapes, infrastructure and amenities. Cairns is bestknown as an Australian tourist city in the middle of two World Heritage-listed areas – the Great Barrier Reef and the Wet Tropics rainforest – but we have so much more than that. Drive for just a half an hour from the city and you can be in deep jungle rainforest or on a picture postcard beach. Another 30-minute drive will take you to the top of rolling green hills or to a volcanic crater lake. Hop in the car again and another half-hour drive will have you in the outback.
