Convoy spreads Christmas cheer across Noosa
Back
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 Monday December 4 through to December 7.
Community Connections Manager Alison Hamblin said everyone is excited to yet again spread the Christmas cheer.
“The crowds grow every year and it is wonderful to see the joy it brings to many in our Shire,” Ms Hamblin said.
The convoy starts On Monday December 4 taking in Boreen Point, Lake Cootharaba and Cooroibah.
It visits the hinterland on Tuesday December 5, followed by Tewantin and Noosaville on Wednesday December 6 and wraps on Thursday December 7 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.” Ms Hamblin said.
Mayor Clare Stewart said it’s such a unique and memorable week for the shire.
“All the councillors enjoy being part of it and this event provides the community with an opportunity to thank our emergency services personnel for their hard work during the year,” she said.
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.
