Free Holiday Buses back for Christmas
|
The full suite of Council's Go Noosa Free Holiday Buses will be back for Christmas following the easing of COVID-19 restrictions in Queensland.
Subject to TransLink approval, travel will be free on TransLink services 626, 627, 628, 629 and 632 from December 12 to January 26.
The Go Noosa Loop Bus and park-and-ride facilities will return, plus there will be two additional drop-and-go areas, where drivers can unload the family and beach gear before parking the car.
Cr Stewart said the initiatives would all help make getting around Noosa easier for both locals and visitors, which would help boost local businesses after a tough year due to COVID-19 restrictions. Read more.

Feedback to help recovery
|
Local business operators are being asked to help track our recovery from COVID-19.
The second Business Roundtable Resilience survey is now open and the feedback will shape the ongoing recovery, help Council to better advocate to the government and track how the pandemic has changed local businesses’ needs.
Businesses are slowly showing positive signs of recovery. There were over 680 responses to survey one in June. The survey closes November 1. Take the survey.
