The city's Lions Club has made the 2.1m high Santas, down from the usual 2.4m size, from marine plywood donated by timber processor Carter Holt Harvey.
The club's first vice president Michael Georgiou said they had also made legs to allow the big fellows to be free-standing after being carried through doorways.

Money raised through the sale of the $149 figures will flow to various charities and assist with costs for Wodonga's Christmas lunch for the needy.
The club will have a stall, set up at the White Box Rise shopping centre in Wodonga from 9am to 3pm on Saturday, where members will be selling the Santas as well as Lions Christmas cakes.
About 40 of 50 Santas remain for sale, with Albury's Soden's hotel among those to have already bought some.
