Cairns Local News is a new and fiercely independent newspaper, publishing every Friday (except Good Friday).

Local people, local stories is what you will find in each edition of Cairns Local News, the stories and personalities of the region. From Mossman and Port Douglas to the north, and the Cassowary Coast to the south, Cairns Local News covers the stories that are of interest. Sport, community, education, local government, lifestyle, real estate, motoring and travel, Cairns Local News is your daily source of news and entertainment.

Cairns Local News was established in July 2020, as a result of the community’s request for an independent voice and different voices in local news coverage.
