Support your local businesses

MEDIA RELEASE 20 August 2021

Support your local businesses

Bathurst Mayor calls on the community to support local businesses impacted by the Covid-19 outbreak.

Mayor Ian North said with extended restrictions impacting the region, it is important to support local businesses.

“Our local businesses add so much to our community and we need to support those that continue to operate during this challenging time,” he said.

Ways to give local businesses a hand:

• Treat yourself to one the many takeaway options at local restaurants and cafes
• If you need something urgently, try online or click and collect with our local retailers
• If you can’t get it local during lockdown and it’s not urgent, save those dollars to support our local retailers when those doors reopen.
• Spend the NSW Service Dine voucher - you can now use it on takeaway

Please remember to follow the public health orders currently in place and to get tested if you are feeling unwell. NSW Police are also conducting Operation Stay At Home in an effort to keep the region safe.
