The event was part of the annual international United Nations campaign – 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence.

More than 350 native trees and shrubs were planted as a lasting legacy to acknowledge victims of domestic and family violence on the Sunshine Coast, as well as creating habitat for our wildlife.

Council buildings will continue to be lit up in orange until December 10 in support of the ‘Orange the World’ initiative – to raise awareness of gender-based violence and show our support for this importance cause.

Sunshine Coast City Hall, Nambour’s Eddie De Vere, Coolum Civic Centre, Kings Beach Fountain, Landsborough Museum and the Beerwah Meeting Place will all glow orange.
