Fraser Coast Christmas lights trail map unveiled
‘Tis the season when everyday streets start glowing brightly with the magic of Christmas lights!
Fraser Coast Regional Councillor John Weiland said the 2024 Fraser Coast Christmas Lights Trail Map was available now, with the trail reaching a record-breaking milestone of 168 participants this year, up from 154 last year.
"We’re delighted to see the trail growing and extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone decorating their homes this year, spreading joy and festive cheer,” he said.
“We’ve also seen an increase in entries for the coveted Christmas Street of the Year title, with nine streets participating this year compared to six last year.
“An interactive map is now available on Council’s website at www.frasercoast.qld.gov.au/festive while you can also print copies to help you find all the Christmas lights in your area.”
Christmas Street entries are highlighted in green on the map and include:
- Wallace Court in Urangan
- Ronaldo Way in Urangan;
- Pantlins Lane in Urraween;
- Maike Drive in Urraween;
- Westminster Court in Kawungan;
- Halcyon Drive in Wondunna;
- River Heads Road in River Heads;
- Kingfisher Drive in Oakhurst; and
- Slater Street in Oakhurst.
Cr Weiland said Ronaldo Way in Urangan claimed the title of Christmas Street last year, following Kingfisher Drive in Oakhurst, which held the honour for three consecutive years.
“The winner of the Christmas Street of the Year will be announced on Council’s Facebook page in the coming days, with the Christmas Street sign installed on the winning street for the next 12 months,” he said.
“Following the lights trail has become a cherished tradition for many, and I encourage everyone to grab a map, take a stroll, and enjoy the creativity and festive spirit displayed by this year’s entrants.
“Congratulations to the nine streets and 168 homes participating this year—you’ve made this holiday season truly spectacular.”
From 12 December 2024, printed versions of the map will also be available in the Hervey Bay Advertiser and Maryborough Sun newspapers.
