The Shop Ashburton campaign will kick off with three launch events: the first on July 30 in Tom Price, followed by the Onslow launch on 1 August and Paraburdoo to be confirmed. The debut will provide an opportunity for local businesses to learn about the benefits of participating in the program and how they can contribute to its success. With the initiative going live 1 August 2024.

The Shop Ashburton program is free for all Shire of Ashburton businesses to join and encourages locals to choose these vendors and shop there. Whether it’s redeeming vouchers or providing vouchers as gifts, this initiative highlights the Shire’s commitment to inclusivity and accessibility for all businesses, while encouraging people to shop local.

President Smith is confident this initiative will boost local business and encourage community members to shop in their own town and support the local businesses in their region.

"Shop Ashburton is a joint effort to promote and support our local businesses. By shopping locally, residents can play a vital role in sustaining jobs and economic growth within our community."

"We are delighted to partner with OCCI and PICCI in this initiative. Together, we aim to create a stronger economic environment and foster community pride through supporting local businesses. We are excited to introduce this incentive across the Shire, providing another opportunity for people to head to the local shop, boutique or coffee shops and keep it local," stated President Smith.

Local businesses within the Shire of Ashburton are invited to attend the launch events to learn more about how they can participate and benefit from the Shop Ashburton program.
