Need an excuse to brave the cold? If you shop at a locally owned Nillumbik business this winter, you could win one of three $300 vouchers to spend at your favourite local Nillumbik business.

The theme of this winter's Shop in our Shire campaign is 'Layer up local'. Warm up at home by layering new woolly socks with a good book, layer up shared dishes and drinks with friends at a local restaurant, or layer up your winter cooking with fresh veggies and meats from our local food stores.

Mayor Naomi Joiner said Council's Shop in our Shire promotion helps shine a light on the wonderful range of local businesses in Nillumbik.

"From cafes to gift shops, hairdressers to wellness hubs, clothes, homewares and everything in between, the small locally owned businesses throughout the Shire have you covered," Cr Joiner said.

"Our urban and rural communities are full of exciting eateries and hidden retail gems. Explore, find a new favourite spot, and go in the running to win a voucher," she said.

For your chance to win, head to the Shop in our Shire webpage to register your purchase of $20 or more from a locally owned Nillumbik business.

You can enter as many times as you like - each eligible receipt counts as one entry. Register until Sunday 30 August, and remember to keep your proof of purchase.

Layer up your chances to win by sharing your shop! Upload a photo of your local shopping haul to Instagram or Facebook, and tag @visitnillumbik for a bonus entry.

The Shop in our Shire winter promotion is on now.
