Buy locally for Mother’s Day

MEDIA RELEASE 27 April 2020

A new buy local promotion is underway as part of Council’s stimulus measures to encourage spending at local retailers.

The promotion is running through the Bathurst Regional Council Events Facebook page and will endorse a range of gift ideas for mums available from local businesses. It will feature items such as clothing, flowers, haircare and beauty products, giftware, produce and vouchers.

Mayor Bobby Bourke said it was important that we keep supporting our business community.

“The Bathurst Regional Council Events Facebook page has a following of almost 10 000 people who are highly engaged with our community. This page can help promote the businesses that are still open and products they are offering,” he said.

Businesses such as eateries, women’s clothing stores, florists, beauticians and hairdressers have been asked to submit photos, product and purchasing information. The promotion will run until Mother’s Day 10, May. For more information or to get involved visit the Bathurst Regional Council Events Facebook page.
