10 Ways to Make Christmas Easier at Noosa Civic

The festive season is here—aka the time of year when the calendar fills up, the to-do list grows, and suddenly you realise you’ve wrapped exactly zero presents. Luckily, Noosa Civic is here to make Christmas easier, calmer, and a whole lot more convenient. From extended shopping hours and gift wrapping, to take-away catering and Santa photo gifts, here are ten ways to take the stress out of the season.

1. Skip the queues with Big W and Woolworths Direct to Boot and Scan&Go

Holiday shopping doesn’t need to feel chaotic. With Big W and Woolworths Direct to Boot, order online and collect without leaving the car. If you’re shopping in-store at Woolworths, Scan&Go lets you breeze through the aisles and check out on the spot.

2. More time to shop with extended trading hours from 15 December 

From Monday 15 December, many stores at Noosa Civic will be opening for longer. With earlier opening, you can tick something off your list before the work day even starts!  Or, drop by at the end of the day knowing your favourite stores are still open. View Extended Trading Hours.
