Noosa Council is set to bring colour, creativity and connection to the Noosa Country Show on 12 and 13 September at the Pomona Showgrounds, with a lively marquee full of activities, giveaways, and demonstrations.
Located just left of the main entrance gate, the Council marquee will be a vibrant hub where locals can explore everything from free plants and creative workshops to expert advice and exciting prizes.
Noosa Mayor Frank Wilkie said Council’s presence at the show reflects its ongoing commitment to connecting with the community in meaningful ways.
“The Noosa Country Show is a wonderful celebration of our shire’s heritage and spirit and Council is very proud to be part of it,” Mayor Wilkie said.
“Events like this are another great opportunity for us to listen, share and celebrate with our community.”
Visitors can get involved in art activities hosted by the Noosa Regional Gallery team, learn about food safety and water testing with Environmental Health officers and discover native plants and wildlife through engaging displays.
The Noosa Library team will also be at the Showgrounds with the Library bus, Seed Library, and Heritage Library.
“There’ll be hands-on demos, free passes to Noosa Aquatic Centre and Noosa Leisure Centre and a chance to win a Council prize pack featuring comedy tickets from The J and dinner vouchers,” said Public Relations Officer Heather Williams.
“Bring an empty coffee cup and we’ll fill it with soil and a free plant,” Ms Williams said.
“We’ll also have a special feature on safety and prevention of fire ants and plenty of helpful resources for the upcoming storm season, including our Emergency Action Guides.”
Visitors to the Council marquee can connect with the Local Laws team and meet their popular dog-safety mascot, ‘Butch’. There’ll also be opportunities to learn about the draft Destination Management Plan (DMP) and share your thoughts to help shape Noosa’s future.
Traditional country show treats like dagwood dogs and fairy floss will be nearby, adding to the festive atmosphere.
