How would you spend a cool $500? To go into the draw to win a $500 shop local gift card (AKA Why Leave Town Card), simply
subscribe to both of Council’s two eNewsletters - Your Southern Downs and See Southern Downs - before Sunday 11 June 2023.
Delivered directly to subscribers’ email inboxes, each eNewsletter provides up-to-date news and information about key Council decisions, services, programs, public engagement opportunities and major events.
• Your Southern Downs is Council’s fortnightly residential eNewsletter featuring information about Council events, meetings and latest news.
• See Southern Downs is Council’s monthly tourism eNewsletter featuring information about major events and experiences in our region.
Council’s Chief Executive Officer Dave Burges says keeping the community up-to-date is a priority for Council.
“The landscape for how we access information has evolved vastly since the first COVID-19 lockdown, and digital platforms have become a very relevant communication tool,” Mr Burges said.
“Council wants to inform and engage with the community, and our electronic newsletters are a point of truth for important Council information and what’s happening across the region.
“One lucky subscriber who signs up before Sunday 11 June will win a $500 shop local gift card to spend at local businesses participating in the Why Leave Town program.”
The Why Leave Town gift card program proudly supports the local economy and keeps money circulating within the region by encouraging people to shop locally.
The eNewsletter competition is now open. Visit
