Mr Stockwell said his Noosa Civic team would be looking for a replacement tenant and another newsagency could be an option.

“Last year with all the fires people were really, really depressed whereas this year it seems like people are just really appreciative of the freedom we have here in Queensland.”
Noosa Holiday Accommodation Association chair Finola Thompson of the Coral Beach Noosa resort said Christmas bookings had stood up well despite a “huge amount of churn” forced by the greater Sydney travel restrictions.
“So far fingers crossed the bookings that we have had to cancel we’ve been able to sell them to Queenslanders,” Ms Thompson said.
