Merry Christmas

A Festive Message From Wayde Chiesa

I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank everyone across the Hinchinbrook community who offered their support, encouragement and assistance recently. Whether you volunteered your time, shared a kind word, displayed a sign, or simply stopped for a conversation, your support meant more than I can express.

To the residents of our patch of paradise, thank you for having your say. Listening to your concerns, ideas and hopes for the future has been a privilege, and I remain committed to working hard for you.

As we now approach the festive season, I would like to wish everyone a safe, joyful and Merry Christmas. I hope this time brings you the opportunity to slow down, spend time with loved ones, and reflect on the year that has been. I also extend my very best wishes for a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.

I would also like to offer my sincere thanks to those that will be working over this time, those in retail, hospitality, emergency services and our volunteers, thank you for what you do.

May the holiday season bring peace, happiness and renewed hope to you and your family.

Please note that our office will reopen in 2026, and I look forward to continuing to engage with and support our community in the year ahead.
