The Southern Highlands Support Local Challenge

It’s all about keeping local businesses top of mind. It sure is tough out there for a lot of our region’s households and local businesses. Rising costs of living have put pressure on Aussie households and the local businesses our community rely on. From grocery bills to fuel prices, our household budgets are stretched.

 

That’s why we’ve created the #SupportLocalChallenge: a month of ways to back our community and to help our region thrive through the tough times. You don’t need to break the bank, just do what you can, when you can. But together we’ll make a huge impact.

 

Let’s go!
