REPORT
Under the Holidays Act 1983, the Minister can appoint, upon request by a local government, a
special holiday within a district. Holidays of this nature are usually appointed for an annual
agricultural, horticultural or industrial show.

The Noosa Country Show has traditionally been held annually on the second weekend in
September. For 2020, the Noosa Country Show is proposed for the weekend of 11 – 12
September.

Requests for the appointment of a special holiday for 2020 are required to be submitted no later
than 19 July 2019. After consultation with the Noosa Show Society, it is proposed that an
application be made to the Minister to appoint Friday, 11 September 2019 as the Show Holiday
for Noosa Shire for 2020.
