Time for a shopping Mission
MISSION Beach traders have come together to launch a ‘shop local’ campaign to give away $200 a week for spending in the town centre which is undergoing major reconstruction.
The ‘Shop Mission Beach’ campaign encourages Cassowary Coast residents to spend local and support businesses through major construction works.
Division 3 Councillor Trudy Tschui congratulated Mission Beach traders for the initiative, saying business-to-business collaboration and an ethos of ‘spend local’ throughout the community was key to the revitalisation project’s success.
“Council can create an aesthetically beautiful space through infrastructure and landscaping, however, it’s the community spirit that will truly be key to success in revitalising the Mission Beach town centre,” she said.
“Seeing our businesses through the construction is vital and I encourage everyone in the Cassowary Coast to take the time and spend local at every opportunity.”
To launch the campaign, the council has sponsored a ‘spend and win’ promotion that offers two $100 shopping vouchers for customers who spend $5 or more in the town centre’s businesses each week.
Joey Baldwin of Joey’s Café said that small businesses were fully open and operating, offering high-quality services and products.
“We deeply appreciate the support from our community as we go through this transformation process,” he said. “The final design aims to create an even more vibrant town centre while preserving the relaxed charm and distinctive character that make Mission Beach unique.”
