It’s back for another year, with a few added streets but the same fun.
Santa hits the streets of Noosa Shire along with local emergency services in the fourth annual Connecting Noosa Christmas Convoy from 4-7 December.
Community connections manager Alison Hamblin said the crowds grew every year and it was wonderful to see the joy it brings to so many in the shire.
The convoy starts on Monday 4 December taking in Boreen Point, Lake Cootharaba and Cooroibah.
It visits the hinterland on Tuesday 5 December, followed by Tewantin and Noosaville on Wednesday 6 December and wraps up on Thursday 7 December with the Eastern beaches and Noosa Heads.
Maps of each night’s journey are available on council’s website and will be promoted on council’s socials.
Ms Hamblin said a few additional streets have been added this year.
“Based on community feedback, we’ve included a few streets in Sunshine Beach and tweaked the route in Tewantin,” she said.
“It is impossible to include every street or suburb given the timeframes and the availability of our emergency service personnel, who volunteer their time for the convoy,
“But we have several dedicated stops to allow families to gather and check out the convoy.”
Mayor Clare Stewart said the councillors enjoyed being part of it and the event provided the community with an opportunity to thank our emergency services personnel for their hard work during the year.
Apart from Santa, the convoy includes Queensland Police, Queensland Fire and Emergency Services, Queensland Ambulance, Rural Fire Service, State Emergency Services, Coastguard Noosa and LifeFlight Sunshine Coast.
Check the routes on council’s website or keep an eye on our socials.
“It really is the only convoy of its kind in Queensland and a really unique event for Noosa which helps kick-start festive celebrations across the shire,” Cr Stewart said.
The convoy is supported by Hot91 and Madill Motor Group and all emergency services.
