Council is proud to support the local business community this festive season by encouraging residents, visitors and individuals passing through our Shire to prioritise shopping with local business.
Every dollar spent locally helps keep jobs and our investment in our Shire.
This year, as you consider what presents to get for your loved ones, consider gifting local. Visit the Golden Plains Farmers’ Market or Smythesdale Country Market to purchase locally-made presents.
Looking for a gift idea? Pick up a gift card for one of our magnificent wineries in Golden Plains. Do you have a friend or family members who is a lover of arts and crafts? Gift one of the beautiful artworks from the Golden Spaces Exhibition.
Benefits of gifting local include elements of uniqueness, quality, good customer service and experience, ethical manufacturing and sourcing and building community.
