Go Local First

We are urging local consumers to do their bit to help economic recovery by buying locally from small businesses in their communities. 

To help encourage more local shopping, Council is participating in a nationwide campaign being delivered by the Council of Small Business Organisations Australia (COSBOA). The GO LOCAL FIRST campaign has a simple call to action for Australians to spend locally first.

GO LOCAL FIRST will encourage us to choose local small businesses when we are purchasing products and services to help get the economy back on its feet, keep locals in jobs and money in our local communities. We know that our small businesses are the heartbeat of our community and, when they thrive, we all benefit.

If you would like to find out more, call (03) 5421 9616 or email ecodevadmin@mrsc.vic.gov.au

 You can also find out more from your local business and tourism association or industry group.
