Get on board with 'My Fraser Pass''

The mining boom is the buzz word on everyone lips at the moment and we want to make sure the Fraser Coast takes every advantage of the opportunities that it presents the region, particularly in tourism.

This is why the Fraser Coast Regional Council has initiated "My Fraser Pass" - an incentive based marketing scheme which will initially target the Resource Sector and entice its workers to holiday on the fabulous Fraser Coast.

The scheme is designed to firstly motivate workers in the Resource sector to visit the Fraser Coast and secondly to shop, dine and experience our many attractions while visiting.

This is a free opportunity to become a co-operative partner in the scheme, which is funded by the Fraser Coast Regional Council to help stimulate regional tourism.  Click here for more information.
