As of October 2026, the guide has 59 hardware stores across 20 suburbs, most of them in Portsmith, Bungalow and Freshwater. Of those, 32 have a website we check every day. The other 27 come from public records, with a phone number where one is published. A QBCC licence number verified against the Queensland register sits on two of them.
As of October 2026 the Cairns Business Guide lists 59 hardware stores across 20 suburbs, from Cairns to Port Douglas and the Daintree.
Portsmith, Bungalow and Freshwater have the most listed hardware stores. Every suburb with at least one is on this page.
A Queensland Building and Construction Commission licence number, matched against the public register, sits on 2 of the 59. The number appears on those listings.
Every day the guide checks each business it lists. A business comes off the guide only when there is clear sign it has closed, seen on two checks at least 7 days apart. A slow or briefly down website never removes it. Of the 59, 32 have a website that is checked daily.
