Greater Shepparton City Council is giving residents another reason to shop local this Mother’s Day, with the launch of a community-wide competition rewarding shoppers with the chance to WIN one of five $100 shop local vouchers.
The campaign will run from Monday 28 April through to Sunday 11 May 2025, encouraging shoppers to spend $50 or more at any small business within the Greater Shepparton Local Government Area on a gift for Mum or that special mother figure. To enter, customers simply upload a copy of their receipt and complete the short online entry form.
The campaign aims to showcase the diversity and quality of local businesses within Greater Shepparton, while celebrating the important people in our lives during one of the biggest gift-giving occasions of the year. From handmade gifts to pamper packs and dining experiences, the region is full of thoughtful, personal options.
Mayor, Councillor Shane Sali, said the initiative is a win for both the community and local economy.
“Shopping local keeps money circulating in our community, supports local jobs and builds strong connections,” he said.
“This campaign encourages people to support Greater Shepparton’s small businesses during a time when many of us are looking to give something special to the people who matter most.”
Council’s Place Manager, Bonnie McIntosh, said the campaign also highlights the value of choosing local first.
“There are so many amazing businesses in our region offering thoughtful gifts and experiences,” she said.
“Whether it is a relaxing spa day, a picnic in the park or a one-of-a-kind handmade item, we have it all right here in Greater Shepparton. This campaign is about celebrating what’s on our doorstep and making shopping local part of the way we honour our loved ones.”
The competition is open to anyone aged 18 years or older. Both in-store and online purchases are accepted.
The competition closes at 11.59pm on Sunday 11 May, with winners to be drawn and contacted on Wednesday 14 May.
