From the local florist to your neighbourhood butcher, businesses in our
community have been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic.
It’s
Our Backyard has been developed to inspire our community to back Geelong and
think local first when seeking goods and services.
As many
businesses have closed, there are many that have found innovative ways to
continue serving the community safely while adhering to restrictions.
Thanks
to contact-free delivery, click and collect and other online initiatives, it’s
possible to support local from the comfort of your lounge room.
For
those that can, supporting businesses in our backyard helps local people,
industries and Geelong’s economy.
Whether
sending some flowers to loved ones, doing your weekly grocery shop or sharing a
post online – remember to think local first.
Every
purchase, big or small, made locally makes a difference to our community.
Let’s
all think, shop and support local first.
