The 2018 Mayor’s Christmas Cheer Appeal is now open for donations which fund around 700 hampers that are distributed to people doing it tough within the Cairns community.“While it might seem like a small gesture, the donation of a food hamper stocked with family favourites can make Christmas Day a little merrier for those who might otherwise go without,” Mayor Bob Manning said. Donations to the Mayor’ s Christmas Cheer Appeal can be made securely via Council’s website; over the counter at one of Council’s customer service offices with cash, credit card, cheque or money order; or by dropping some spare change in a donation box located at various local businesses and at upcoming events. Donations over $2 are tax deductible.

Christmas Cheer Appeal open

Council officers are going door-to-door to inspect homes from Ellis Beach to Mirriwinni for unregistered dogs. Officers are authorised to enter properties during the dog audit.All dogs aged 12 weeks and older must be registered under Queensland Government law, and those owners who have not registered their animal are strongly encouraged to do so as soon as possible. Registering your furry family member is critical so they can be returned to you if they manage to escape. Go to Council’s website for information on how to register your dog.

Register your dog now!!
