Go Local to Grow Local

Northern Beaches locals currently spend over $3.6 billion outside of our area – $238 million was spent last year in Chatswood and a whopping $390 million in Sydney CBD. Over $6 billion was spent online (Spendmapp data, Geografia).

We all have the power to bring some of this back to the Beaches! Supporting local businesses means keeping our dollars circulating in our own community, where it can strengthen our local economy through the generation of local jobs and helping to grow our start-ups.

That’s why we’ve launched the Go Local to Grow Local campaign – to combat this trend and keep our community thriving!
