As the days grow longer and the weather warms up, it’s the perfect time to pick up a gift from your favourite shop, stop in at a café for a treat or go out for a meal with your loved ones.

When you shop local, you’re not just buying a product – you’re investing in South Gippsland. From fresh-baked bread to handmade gifts and hometown services, every dollar spent locally stays right here in our region.

  • In Spring 2024 $81.67 million was spent locally, up from $79 million in 2023.
  • For every $100 spent locally, around $68 stays right here in South Gippsland.
