It’s the giving season so why not give the gift of variety to your loved ones – all while giving back to the local community!

When thinking of gifts this festive season, the Greater Geraldton Buy Local Gift Card is the perfect way to spoil the people around you, giving them the option to redeem it at over 80 local businesses.

Since launching in 2021, the program has gone from strength to strength and continues to inject much needed funds into the local economy, all while supporting local businesses.

City of Greater Geraldton Mayor Shane Van Styn reminded locals to have the Gift Cards front of mind when shopping this Christmas.

“We all know thinking of gift ideas can sometimes be a struggle, but we’re hoping purchasing a Greater Geraldton Buy Local Gift Card will help take the pressure off,” he said.

“It’s the perfect present as it can be spent at over 80 of our amazing local businesses – meaning there is a huge variety!

“Not only will you be spoiling that special someone, but the money you spend stays local and supports our wonderful community.”

Local businesses also are also reminded to have the Gift Cards in mind if you’re thinking of rewarding staff for another big year.

More than $230,000 has boosted the local economy thanks to the program with over 2,500 Gift Cards purchased.

As part of the Greater Geraldton Buy Local Gift Card Christmas campaign, there will be various giveaways and competitions taking place at participating stores.
