Think Local Buy Local

For several years now, promoting the ethos of "Think Local Buy Local" has been a consistent message. Many campaigns encourage shoppers to prioritise local businesses in their shopping choices. 

As a business owner, there are also a variety of programs in which you can actively participate each year. 

Think Local Buy Local 2025

We are delighted to share that the Think Local Buy Local Competition will return in 2025.

Currently, Council is inviting customer-facing local businesses to express their interest in taking part in the 2025 competition. As part of this initiative, Council will be purchasing vouchers from participating businesses to create a prize pool that encourages our community to shop locally and support our local economy.

If you are a customer-facing local business passionate about our community, complete the expression of interest form. Submissions close 21 July 2025.
