Economy
The Mareeba district is an important primary producer, with a variety of crops being grown in the area including sugar cane, poultry, cattle, vegetables, cashews, macadamias, pineapples, tea tree, coffee, mangoes, lychees and a various array of tropical fruits.
The Mareeba/Dimbulah Irrigation Scheme provides an adequate water supply to ensure that crops may be grown throughout the year. The assured water supply will ensure that agricultural industries continue to be developed at a rapid rate in the coming years. The diverse economy of the Mareeba Shire is built not only on agriculture, but also on horticulture, tourism, grazing, mining and light industry and has great potential for growth, which will be linked to the escalating tourist development in the Cairns region. It is envisaged that substantial residential development will take place in the eastern section of the shire bounded by Mareeba, Kuranda and Julatten. It is also anticipated that many light industries will be established in the Mareeba district to service the ever-increasing tourist development of the coast and further developments in the Gulf and Cape York regions.
