Customer Services and Administration Centres, Libraries and Cultural Centres will close for the Christmas and New Year period from 3.00pm on Tuesday 24 December 2024.
Two massive weekends of pre-loved goods sales are happening over November 9-10 and 16-17 as part of the national Garage Sale Trail festival.
Garage Sale Trail is Australia’s festival of pre-loved stuff. It is a community-powered waste education and behaviour change program that aims to:
• Extend the life of household items and textiles, keeping them out of landfill.
• Get more of the community buying and selling second-hand.
• Connect residents and create a stronger sense of belonging.
You can register a sale, sign up for a workshop or learn more here.
Featuring the Trail Tutorial online workshop series and two weekends of garage sales, it’s about extending the life of your stuff and unearthing the ultimate pre-loved gem.
Powered locally by Council, Garage Sale Trail in the Scenic Rim has seen 29 local registrations with over 1,500 people attending sales across the Scenic Rim at residential houses, apartments, local businesses, and community groups, at street sales and schools and even from car boots.
On a national level, over 400,000 Aussies shopped or sold at more than 13,000 garage sales across the nation.
Take a look at the key achievements for the Scenic Rim's previous Garage Sale Trail involvement.
