Sunshine Coast Council
Spirits were high and everyone knew each other’s name as neighbours in Lotus Place, Bli Bli, gathered together recently (13 February) for a festive street party after winning Sunshine Coast Council’s Covid Kindness Neighbourly Stories competition.
Dozens of neighbourhoods across the Sunshine Coast entered the competition last year, where people were asked to share stories of outstanding acts of kindness during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Lotus Place was selected for their many kind gestures, including holding an ANZAC dawn service together, writing chalk messages on the street for the elderly and maintaining each other’s lawns.
