Entry forms are now available on the South Burnett Regional Council website for the 2026 Christmas Spirit Initiative, organised by Council CEO Mark Pitt and his wife Nicola.

The initiative consists of two categories:

  • Santa Claus Lane – judged on the co-operation of the houses in the same street
  • Christmas Cottage  – for individual houses and businesses

“While there will be no monetary prize, we will be presenting a perpetual trophy to the winners of the Christmas Cottage at the December Council ordinary meeting,” Mark said.

“The winners of Santa Claus Lane will be presented on site with the annual fingerboard.

“The Christmas Spirit initiative is about celebrating the joy of Christmas in our community, encouraging neighbours to connect, and ensuring everyone has the opportunity to participate.”
