Council spreads Christmas cheer

The Christmas Convoy kicked off on Monday from Boreen Point.

“It’s such an uplifting event for our community,” declared Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart as she and the other councillors hit the streets this week to be a part of this year’s Connecting Noosa Christmas Convoy.

Over four afternoons, a convoy of emergency service vehicles, council Local Laws vehicles and a special truck carrying Santa weaved its way through the streets of Noosa.

“It’s about spreading the festive fun but also an opportunity to thank our emergency services who do a tremendous job throughout the year,” community development manager Alison Hamblin said.

The convoy started in Boreen Point and Cooroibah on Monday night 6 December and also took in Kin Kin, Cooran, Pomona, Cooroy, Tewantin and Noosaville.

The convoy culminated on Thursday 9 December with visits to the beachside suburbs of Peregian, Castaways and Sunrise Beach and Hastings Street.

“We also made special stops at a number of aged care facilities, which were well received,” Ms Hamblin said.

Noosa Police Acting Inspector Ben Carroll said it was a wonderful way to celebrate Christmas with the community.

The event is funded by Noosa Council with the corporate support of HOT91 and the Madill Motor Group.
