Cairns Regional Council and the Queensland Government officially opened the $1.83 million Trinity Beach Community Activity Space at Coastwatchers Park today.

The new space features contemporary all-abilities access, meeting spaces and large indoor areas for activities such as dance and fitness.

Cairns Mayor Amy Eden said the new Trinity Beach Community Activity Space would be a fantastic new place for people to connect, socialise and play and enthused “the stunning new space will be a hub for local community.

“We know our northern beaches residents love to get together for a good time and I am really thrilled to provide a fresh venue for that to happen.

“The previous centre was more than 40 years old and needed a do-over.

“We thank local MP Craig Crawford and the Queensland Government for their support to help make this happen.”

Local State Member for Barron River Craig Crawford said the new centre will help strengthen social ties as the community grows and added “Smithfield and Northern Beaches locals love to get together – the old centre was incredibly popular, hosting more than 470 events in 2022.

“The Smithfield and Northern Beaches population is expected to grow 25% in the next 15 years to more than 52,000 people.”

“With the availability of a bigger and better space, the community will be able to enjoy even more gatherings and activities where they can socialise, share and learn.”
