South Burnett Regional Council is encouraging residents to get healthy and active over the Easter school holidays.
Communities portfolio spokesperson Cr Ros Heit said that as part of its Healthy Communities initiative, Council had lined up a couple of weeks full of activities for all the family.
“The activities include obstacle courses, colouring-in competitions, scavenger hunts, judo, art and craft,” she said.
“All of these programs are being run by local providers and are free to join or for the cost of a gold coin donation.
“There are also plenty of activities for adults across the region, including strength training, walking groups, social cooking groups and learn-to-swim programs under our Healthy Communities programs.
“There are limited spaces available, so I would encourage people to visit one of our libraries to secure a spot or telephone (07) 4189-9256.”
The “Discover the Benefits of Healthy Communities” project aims to help adults across the South Burnett lead healthy lifestyles in fun and social settings.
“Easter school holidays are also known for accidents on our roads and I would encourage all residents to take care, especially through road works,” Cr Heit said.
