Festive spirit on full display

From Saturday, October 31, council will begin work erecting Christmas decorations across the region.

The long lead time is necessary to ensure the decorations are in place by December 1 and so that work can be done at times that won’t inconvenience the public.

The installations will be completed each weekend from October 31 until November 29, with most of the banner and pole unit installations completed in the early hours or mornings.

The public are asked to be aware of staff working close to the side of streets when the installations are taking place.

Some of this year’s Christmas decorations include:

• Christmas tree at Bluewater Quay
• Christmas tree at Calen next to the RSL building
• Christmas tree at Sarina in front of the library
• Christmas tree at Mirani in Anzac Park
• Christmas tree in Walkerston in Anzac Park
• 116 banners
• 62 pole units
• Garland at Bluewater Quay
• Garlands and bowties in the City Centre
