Council’s Place Manager, Bonnie McIntosh, said the initiative rewards the community for choosing to shop close to home.

“When you buy local, you’re not just ticking off your Christmas list, you’re backing the people and families who contribute so much to our region,” she said.

“It’s a simple and meaningful way to celebrate the season and keep our economy strong.”

Winners will be announced on Tuesday 20 January 2026 via Council’s Facebook and Instagram stories and contacted directly by phone.
