December is here, bringing with it long sunny days, sticky ice cream fingers, chips by the bay, and those (sometimes not-so) glorious late-afternoon thunderstorms. It’s the perfect time to stroll the waterfront, soak up the sea breeze, and reflect on the year that’s been. We hope your 2025 was one to remember!
As our suburbs continue to grow, with new faces and fresh developments, one thing remains the same: our strong sense of community spirit. It’s what makes our local villages like Wellington Point so special.
This festive season, let’s celebrate that spirit by shopping locally. Our local shopping strips are easy and breezy and packed with incredible gifts. Every time you spend close to home, you’re not just buying a gift or a meal – you’re supporting the people who make our community thrive. Whether it’s commissioning a unique gift from a local artist, indulging in a delicious locally-made Christmas cake, treating a friend to lunch, or spending an afternoon browsing local boutiques, florists, and homeware stores, your support keeps our neighbourhoods vibrant.
And while we’re spreading joy, let’s remember those doing it tough. A small act of kindness in the form of a donation, a meal, or a helping hand can make a world of difference.
So this Christmas, let’s turn up the volume on community spirit. Shop local, share a smile (because it feels great), and enjoy a merry, sun-soaked Christmas.
