Shop to win in western Victoria

SHOPPERS can win one of four $500 vouchers to a business of their choice as part of a Glenelg Shire Council initiative.

The Eat, Shop, Play Local encourages people to shop local in August with a $20 spend at a Glenelg Shire business providing the opportunity to win a weekly $500 voucher.

Shoppers simply need to upload their receipt via a QR code to enter, which will be displayed at businesses.

Alternatively, entrants can submit their receipts, with contact details written on the back, to any Glenelg Shire customer service centre.

Glenelg Shire Mayor Cr Anita Rank said the competition formed part of council’s initiatives during Small Business Month to recognise local traders and encourage local spending.

“This year has been tough for our local businesses with many forced to shut or alter their trade due to the coronavirus pandemic,” Cr Rank said.

“Our small businesses need our local community to back them now more than ever,” she said.

“To help them on the road to recovery, council is encouraging residents to shop local this August and have the chance to win a shopping voucher at the same time.”

The four voucher draws will take place on August 9, 16, 23 and 30.
