Not only is their logo green but the staff are, too!
Bike racks at the council offices are once again filling up as Noosa Council staff no longer have the long commute to Nambour, Maroochydore and Caloundra for work. Council’s new CEO Brett de Chastel hopes to see this trend continue and for staff to think about commuting to work by bike.
On February 13 more than a dozen staff donned their bike helmets and rode to work, including Mr de Chastel and Directors Alan (Fox) Rogers and Martin Drydale.
Leading by example, Brett said: “Cycling to work is a great way to start the day. Noosa has excellent on-road and off road cycling facilities making it easy to leave the car at home and ride instead, if one is fit and able. It’s fun, free, and it’s good for the individual and the environment.”
Fox Rogers, Council’s Director of Community and Development, travelled approximately 500 kilometres each week between commuting to work and travelling across the region to meetings during his time with Sunshine Coast Council. Fox is thrilled to be able to leave the car at home and enjoy the journey to work by cycling 12 km to work and back instead.
