The residents of Cairns, QLD, Australia are facing a significant financial burden due to the high cost of groceries at Woolworths and Coles. Many households struggle with exorbitant grocery bills, sometimes reaching as high as $585 for basic necessities. This situation is unsustainable and unfair. Aldi supermarket is known for its affordable prices and could provide a much-needed alternative in our community. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, food prices have risen by 2.6% from 2020 to 2021 (source: ABS). By inviting Aldi into our community, we can combat this trend locally and make living costs more manageable for everyone in Cairns. We call on local government officials and property developers to facilitate the establishment of an Aldi store in Cairns. Please sign this petition if you support affordable groceries for all residents of Cairns.
