Overview
Westcourt lies just 0.5 km east of Cairns city centre on the flat, low‑lying land of the Yidinji traditional country. Bounded by Mulgrave Road – part of the Bruce Highway that links Brisbane to Cairns – the suburb offers easy car access to the region’s main thoroughfares while remaining a quiet, predominantly residential neighbourhood. The housing mix is chiefly detached homes built on the former dairy farm land that was first subdivided in 1886, providing a modestly dense but family‑friendly streetscape. At the 2021 census Westcourt recorded a population of 3,841 people.
Residents enjoy a range of nearby amenities, including the large DFO Cairns shopping centre on Mulgrave Road and Cazalys Stadium, which hosts cricket, rugby league, soccer and AFL matches. Jones Park on Mann Street adds local sporting fields, and community resources such as the Cairns and District Family Society’s genealogy library sit on Gatton Street. Although there are no schools within the suburb, primary schools in Parramatta Park, Mooroobool and Manunda and Trinity Bay State High School in Manunda lie within a kilometre, making education conveniently accessible.
