Melburnians have one last chance to grab a bite to eat before the Melbourne Money dining scheme closes at 11:59pm tonight.
The highly successful scheme has seen more than $40 million flow back into the hospitality sector at a time when businesses needed it most.
Melbourne Money is offered in partnership with the Victorian Government as part of its $107.4 million contribution to bolster City of Melbourne businesses and bring back the buzz.
While receipts need to be timestamped before midnight tonight, diners have until 11:59pm on Friday 16 July to submit final claims. Eligible Melbourne Money claims that are submitted by Friday will be paid out.
