About Taylor Point
Taylor Point is situated on the headland between Kewarra Bach and Trinity Beach. This large block of land remains undeveloped, and is a natural place that many in the community appreciate.
The current owner has now put the land up for sale, and after many years of fighting to protect this green space the State Government has the opportunity to buy it and ensure it remains a green space for future generations to come.
Member for Barron River, Craig Crawford, has demonstrated what is possible when he worked with the QLD Government to buy back Earl Hill and now the same needs to happen for Taylor Point.
With Taylor Point in community hands we could continue to visit Taylor Point for recreation, for family fishing trips and picnics, which bring many health, environmental and social benefits.
History
CAFNEC has worked with the Cairns community over the decades to ensure that Taylor Point is protected from inappropriate development. This work has ensured that the point remains vegetated and enjoyed by all to this day.
The most recent work was 2012, you can read more in our Ecotone.
CAFNEC have been working with Yirrganydji Land and Sea Rangers and Dawul Wuru to share a vision for the protection of Taylor Point that looks after the environment, culture and allows public access and enjoyment of this unique piece of nature.
Taylor Point, at the northern end of Trinity Beach, is a stunning coastal headland of tropical vegetation, rocky foreshores and beaches, enjoyed by many local families and visitors. For Yirrganydji Traditional Owners, Bama kulbul-barra (saltwater Aboriginal people), it is part of our home, and connected to our customary knowledges, practices, lores and identities.
