Wyndham City's Love Your Local campaign has been recognised with Mainstreet Australia's national award for best Council Traditional or Digital Marketing Campaign at a ceremony held on 18 September.
Launched in 2024, this city-wide campaign is designed to shine a spotlight on local businesses and the people behind them, encouraging residents and businesses to buy local.
Wyndham City Mayor Cr Mia Shaw said that it was an honour to receive the award.
"This award reflects Council's commitment to supporting businesses, creating local jobs and building a strong local economy. It's also a celebration of our business community and their passion in serving and giving back to the community."
"During the pandemic, we saw people rally behind our local businesses and the Love Your Local campaign has provided an opportunity to keep building on that support - because we know that when we buy local, that money stays local, circulating within the community and supporting local jobs."
"Love Your Local is all about the faces and the people behind our local businesses and been wonderful to see that resonate so strongly."
"There are a range of opportunities for local businesses to get involved in the Love Your Local campaign and resources available on our website at www.wyndham.vic.gov.au/lovelocal" Cr Shaw said.
