Community groups are encouraged to get involved in gift wrapping, with not-for-profit organisations able to volunteer team members to run a shift and in return receive $300 from council and the gold coin donations received from the allocated gift wrapping shift.

Gift wrapping services will be taking place at the Christmas Wonderland hub in the Maude St Mall from Saturday, December 3 to Saturday, December 24 from 10.30am to 4.30pm.

Mayor Shane Sali encouraged local community groups to apply.

“This is a fantastic opportunity for locals and community groups to receive donations and share the festive spirit,” Cr Sali said.

“The Christmas wrapping service provides even more reason to shop local these holidays and support local businesses and community groups.”

Applications are open until Friday, November 25.
