Cairns is seeing strong momentum in international visitor numbers, boosting confidence ahead of the peak tourism season as demand rebounds from key Asian and European markets. However, rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East add a layer of uncertainty. Disruptions to European flight routes and higher fuel prices could shift travel patterns and impact visitation if instability persists.

At the same time, the economic picture is mixed. The Reserve Bank has lifted the cash rate to 3.85%, with inflation expected to remain above target until 2028, leaving the possibility of further rate rises this year. Meanwhile, building approvals have dropped to near six-year lows, raising fresh concerns about housing supply in an already tight market.

Despite these pressures, Cairns’ labour market remains a standout, with unemployment falling to 4.5%, the only region in Queensland to improve this month.

Congratulations to Colin Ryan on an incredible 10-year milestone as Partner and Head of Business Advisory

This month, we celebrate Colin’s decade with the firm, a journey that began during the final chapter of PwC and continued through the exciting transition to what we proudly know today as PVW Partners.

A highly experienced Certified Practising Accountant and Chartered Accountant, Colin brings more than 20 years of expertise across both public practice and commercial roles. Beyond the qualifications and experience, it is his commitment to people and progress that truly sets him apart.

Throughout his career, some of Colin’s proudest moments have not just been complex deals or strategic wins. They have been watching colleagues grow into partners, seeing team members expand their families, and mentoring the next generation of leaders within the firm.

For clients, Colin is known for rolling up his sleeves and walking the extra mile. He thrives on partnering with businesses from inception to fruition, navigating complexity, structuring smart solutions, and helping owners maximise value, particularly when they are ready to transition into the next phase of life. Turning challenges into success stories is not just part of the job, it is what drives him.

Here is to 10 years of leadership, loyalty, and lasting impact, and to many more ahead.

Our own Townsville Manager Kayla Dodd had the privilege visiting William Ross State High School this week as a part of their Alumni marketing campaign they are doing.

She had the amazing opportunity to connect with her own business teacher Natalie Fergusson when she was a student there and to give back by having a Q&A session with their year 12 accounting class. It was a great experience, and the students had great questions and were very curious to learn more about the accounting industry.

Her take away was that it was a really rewarding experience and her cup is certainly full after it.

For any high school students considering a career in accounting, this could be the start of your own full circle story. We’re hosting an Accounting Information Night at our Townsville office on 29th April, where you can learn more about career pathways, study options, and what life in the industry is really like.

Cairns is entering 2026 facing familiar national pressures, with inflation remaining high, economic growth slow, and interest rates expected to rise. Yet despite these headwinds, local experts say the region remains resilient, with major projects, a recovering tourism sector and strong population growth providing a foundation for the future.

In the last month there’s been strong momentum on some major projects across the region, including the $1B Cairns Hospital expansion and the $450M Mount Peter Priority Development Area.

It’s great to see more large, job creating developments potentially coming online, projects that will not only support employment but also deliver improved health care and much needed land supply to help ease the region’s tight vacancy rates. These kinds of investments are critical to the sustainable long term growth and liveability of Cairns.

Huge congratulations to Carl and Jack Valentine for their fantastic efforts at the Queensland Rowing Championships over the weekend at Wyaralong Dam.

Representing their local club, Riverway Rowing Club, the boys put in an impressive performance on the water. Jack placed an outstanding 5th in Queensland in the double, racing alongside his mate Brian Hayes, narrowly edging out Carl and Owen Beaney coming in 6th. Brian, Jack, Owen and Carl also competed in the quad coming in 4th.

Great experience in a highly competitive racing environment and a true reflection of the hard work, commitment, and dedication you both put in. Well done, Carl and Jack, we’re so proud of you!
