New website the ‘go-to guide’ for local events info
The new Fraser Coast Events website will be the community’s go-to guide for everything that is happening across the region, providing a single source of information about local events.
Fraser Coast Regional Council Executive Manager of Economic Development and Tourism Justine Cooper said the new website – https://frasercoastevents.com – was a collaboration between Council and Fraser Coast Tourism and Events.
“From festivals to music gigs, art exhibitions to markets, it’s all covered on the Fraser Coast Events website,” she said.
“The new online platform combines information from a range of sources including the Our Fraser Coast website, the Australian Tourism Data Warehouse and ticketing platforms to provide the most convenient and exciting way to experience the region and find out about events.
“Residents and visitors can use the website in a way that best suits them by searching through different categories, shortlisting events and creating alerts for events they like.
“Event organisers can submit their events for listing and publishing on the website for free, providing a great new promotional tool to get the word out about their events.”
Fraser Coast Tourism and Events General Manager Martin Simons said the goal of the joint project between FCTE and Council had been to launch “a single source of truth” to all events being staged on the Fraser Coast.
“With the rich community-delivered events program already in place, the Fraser Coast Events website will provide a valuable marketing tool for event organisers and real-time listings keeping visitors and locals informed on what’s on and what’s coming up,” he said.
“The events site will help locals live their best life and provide visitors with ample incentive to extend their stay in this amazing region.”
Ms Cooper said Council’s aspiration was to “enhance Fraser Coast’s reputation as an event-friendly destination”.
“There are so many fantastic events happening right throughout the Fraser Coast and this new website will bring information about them into one place, helping to maximise the economic and social benefits,” she said.
“The platform will continue to evolve with future opportunities to write and publish articles and add resources to make presenting and promoting events even easier.
“Fraser Coast Events is the perfect place to dive into the region’s vibrant culture and entertainment scene, and we encourage everyone to check it out and make the most of the new platform.”
