Virtual ‘check in’ from Queensland Governor

His Excellency checked in with Noosa Council over video chat.

 His Excellency Queensland Governor Paul de Jersey has “checked-in” to check on the Noosa community to see how the region is coping with COVID-19.

On June 12, Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart and Deputy Mayor Frank Wilkie chatted with His Excellency in a virtual meeting via Microsoft Teams.

His Excellency was in Noosa earlier this year, prior to COVID-19, to congratulate the emergency service personnel and volunteers for their efforts during the bushfires that struck the region late last year.

Cr Stewart said it was an honour to have a chat to His Excellency and invited him to visit the shire again when the timing is right.

“We spoke about the new council, our vision for the future and how our community had done a tremendous job in combatting the coronavirus,” Cr Stewart said.

“His Excellency spoke warmly about Noosa and mentioned his intention to contact some local business operators who have been impacted by the pandemic.”
