Gladstone shoppers will have the chance to win more than $1000, thanks to a Gladstone Regional Council competition.
To support CBD retailers, Gladstone Regional Council is running a shopping spree competition to encourage the community to shop local and support the city heart.
Participants can go into the draw to win a gift hamper including vouchers from participating Goondoon Street retailers valued at more than $1000. Two artist impressions of the design features associated with the CBD Civic Precinct Footpath Renewal Project
Gladstone region Mayor Matt Burnett said the competition’s aim was to celebrate and support CBD retailers in the direct vicinity of the CBD Civic Precinct Footpath Renewal Project.
“I don’t know anyone who didn’t come out of there smiling.”
The community musical required more than 100 people working offstage to make the night run as smoothly as possible including the crew, production team, orchestra, staff and ushers.
Mayor Matt Burnett said rehearsals took up to 10 hours per week, with most of the cast and crew giving up every Wednesday night and Sunday for nearly six months.
“This was a huge commitment for the cast and crew, who had to balance their day-to-day lives and work commitments in order to chase their passion for stage performance,” Cr Burnett said.
