eNews competition winner announced
|
Congratulations Geoff Kerr on winning our recent eNews competition. Geoff is about to head off on a trip to Europe shortly and it seems his luck has continued.
Geoff was selected as the lucky subscriber during the month long promotion in February, where new subscribers to council's eNews went into a draw for a 20-visit pass to the Noosa Aquatic Centre.
"I decided to subscribe because I wanted to keep in touch with what's happening in the local area during our trip overseas, so winning the pass is certainly an added bonus," he said.
Geoff (pictured on the left) popped in to council's office on Monday to collect his prize from our Community Facilities Manager, Ash Saward.

Satisfaction Survey starts

A similar survey was conducted in 2017, in which three quarters of respondents rated council’s performance as good. The random, shire-wide phone survey starts this Saturday, March 30. Read more.

Glossy food trees retained

Council has agreed to minor changes to an historical planning approval for a Blue Care aged care facility at Girraween.
Mayor Tony Wellington said the changes Blue Care requested would spare at least seven Glossy Black-Cockatoo food trees from being cleared at the Sunrise Beach site. Glossy Black Cockatoos, which are declared vulnerable under the Nature Conservation Act, feed almost exclusively on casuarina tree seeds. Read more.
