This event will deliver close to $2M into the local economy and bring new tourists to the region. But we understand that road closures impact the local community, Cairns Airport transfers, tourism operators, travelling tourists, businesses and all road users. Our aim is to minimise this impact as much as possible and ensure we open roads on schedule.
