South Burnett Regional Council CEO Mark Pitt affixes the region’s first-ever ‘Santa Claus Lane’ sign to Amaroo Drive in Wondai, assisted by Cr Ros Heit and his wife Nicola<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

December 13, 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Amaroo Drive in Wondai received a bright new addition to its street sign on Friday: a second, red sign that declares the road is now also “Santa Claus Lane”.<\/p>\n

This year, South Burnett residents who put up Christmas lights displays for the festive season were urged to band together to demonstrate their neighbourly co-operation for the South Burnett Regional Council’s annual Christmas Lights competition.<\/p>\n

The top neighbourhood was offered the chance to have “Santa Claus Lane” added to their street sign.<\/p>\n

Council received over 40 entries for the new competition, which was judged by CEO Mark Pitt.<\/p>\n

“I thought this was a great way for residents to demonstrate their community spirit, work with their family, friends and neighbours, and provide some Christmas cheer for other community members,” Mark said.<\/p>\n

“In addition, the community will be able to recognise the winning neighbourhood’s festive spirit throughout the year because of the Santa Claus Lane sign.”<\/p>\n

Mark said it was difficult to pick a winner from so many good entries, but he was very pleased to award the first sign to Wondai. <\/strong><\/p>\n

“I’d like to offer congratulations to all the families on Amaroo Drive, and in particular the Hasler, Kennedy and Bartlett-Kennedy families for submitting entries in the competition.<\/p>\n

“Their combined displays embodied Christmas and cooperation, and they will receive the inaugural \u2018Santa Claus Lane\u2019 street sign.”<\/p>\n

The Santa Claus Lane sign will become a perpetual award each Christmas to recognize a winning street\u2019s participation in the Christmas Lights competition.<\/p>\n

Mark said he also wanted to congratulate the residents of Pring Street in Wondai, Muir Drive in Nanango and Nobby Way in Kingaroy who were all highly commended.<\/p>\n

He encouraged all residents to view the Christmas Lights maps<\/b><\/a> on Council\u2019s website, and take a family trip to view the displays over the Christmas period.<\/p>\n
