Sprinkle in some hometown spending this festive season to support Mount Morgan businesses and go into the draw to win a share of thousands of dollars' worth of prizes – Mount Morgan Buy Local is back for another year!
Held annually by Mount Morgan Promotion and Development Inc (MMPAD) and backed by a long-term sponsorship from Rockhampton Regional Council through Advance Rockhampton, Mount Morgan Buy Local is an important economic stimulus for the community. By spending $20 or more at a participating Mount Morgan business and placing their docket into an entry box, shoppers can win a share of local shopping vouchers to further inject money into the local economy.
Last year's campaign saw an estimated 3,000+ eligible transactions completed across more than 30 local businesses, totalling more than $60,000 in spending across the Mount Morgan district. The number of participating businesses increased by around 10% last year and now represents a third of local businesses in the area.
Mount Morgan Buy Local runs from 13 October to 17 December, with winners drawn at the Mount Morgan Twilight Christmas Concert on 19 December.
Rockhampton Regional Council has committed to support the program through annual funding and in-kind support through to the end of 2027.
