Parliament is coming to far north Queensland in 2023

From 9–11 May 2023, the Queensland Legislative Assembly will meet in Cairns for the sixth regional sitting of the Queensland Parliament.

A Regional Sitting is a celebration of Queensland’s social and political history and our living democratic process. Visitors can visit Regional Parliament and experience democracy in action!

From Monday 8 May to Friday 12 May, there’ll be plenty of events, including:
