Visitor Information Centres

Mareeba Shire Council strongly supports the development of the local tourism industry and the attraction of more visitors to our region.

Council recognises that tourism is a very important sector of the Shire’s economy, and supports the industry with the operation of three Visitor Information Centres and Tourism Kuranda .

To promote our region, Council works in partnerships with the Queensland Park and Wildlife Service (QPWS), Tablelands Regional Council (TRC), Tropical Tablelands Tourism (TTT) and Tourism Tropical North Queensland (TTNQ).

Council’s award winning Visitor Information Centres play a pivotal role in welcoming and encouraging visitors to stay longer in our Shire, experience our tourism attractions, and recommending others visit our region.

Visit the dedicated volunteers for friendly advice on where to stay, what to do or just chat with a local.

As well as information about Kuranda attractions and the region, the accredited centre also offers a booking service, and complimentary maps and brochures. See the unique display of Djabugay Aboriginal artefacts, Wet Tropics and National Parks information and free WiFi.

The Centre is open Wednesday – Sunday 10am–3pm (closed Christmas Day).
