August 24th, 2024Council launches free business and community directory
The Hepburn Shire Council has launched a free online business and community directory showcasing a wide range of services, goods and attractions available within its boundaries.
The new online resource showcases the diverse range of businesses, services and community organisations thriving within the wider local community.
From quaint cafes to artisanal boutiques, from essential services, local trades to recreational groups, the directory offers a one-stop destination for residents and visitors to discover and engage with a large variety of what the Hepburn Shire has to offer.
Mayor, Cr Brian Hood, said that he was excited to introduce the new online directory, which represents a significant milestone in the council’s ongoing commitment to support local businesses and community initiatives.
“The directory not only promotes economic vitality by connecting residents with local businesses, but also strengthens community cohesion by highlighting the important contributions of community organisations,” said Cr Hood.
Key features of the directory include comprehensive listings to browse a wide range of businesses categories, services and organisations for easy navigation and a user-friendly navigation interface.
The launch of the online directory aligns with the council’s broader vision to promote economic resilience, foster community connections and enhance the overall quality of life for residents.
“By providing a centralised platform for businesses and community organisations to showcase their offerings, the directory serves as a driver for growth, innovation and collaboration within our community,” said Cr Hood.
Local businesses and community groups or service providers will need to create an account and then submit their details, including their logo, location and contact details. Once approved these will be published on the local directory.
