Have your say on the future of Fraser Coast events

Fraser Coast residents and businesses can contribute to the future of local events by sharing their views as Council continues to develop its Fraser Coast Regional Events Strategy.

Fraser Coast Regional Councillor Sara Diana Faraj said events play a vital role in bringing communities together, celebrating culture, and driving economic growth.

“Events connect us – they showcase our region’s diversity, create shared experiences, and bring visitors to the Fraser Coast,” she said.

“With world-class natural areas and unique venues, the Fraser Coast has the perfect backdrop for outstanding events. When visitors come here for events, they spend money at our local businesses, stay in our accommodation, and help create local jobs.”

Cr Lachlan Cosgrove said Council remains committed to making the Fraser Coast an event-friendly destination with events that deliver strong tourism and economic benefits.

“We’re seeking input from residents, businesses and event organisers to help shape the future of the events landscape. What events do you love? What would you like to see more of? What makes an event great? Where should events be held?

“We also want to understand the role the community believes Council should play in events.”

Have your say by completing a short survey on Council’s Engagement Hub website –https://frasercoast.engagementhub.com.au/events-2025– before 24 March 2025.

In addition to the community survey, Council will also engage directly with event organisers to better understand the current state of the local event industry.

“This engagement will help refine our approach for the next two years while we work towards developing a more comprehensive, long-term strategy for 2026,” Cr Faraj said.
