#LOVECENTRALCOAST CAMPAIGN

The #LoveCentralCoast campaign has been developed to support our local economy from within, sharing the innovation with our Central Coast community, as we adapt to the new temporary ‘state of play’ under COVID-19 restrictions. Locals supporting locals. Now’s the time to #LoveCentralCoast.

Central Coast Council has launched a series of Love Local online guides available at the Visit Central Coast website. The Love Local guides highlight the creativity of Central Coast businesses to adapt to this changing retail and service industry environment due to the impacts of Coronavirus.

The guides help our residents see how and where they can buy local and support their local businesses to help keep them and our local economy going – now and into recovery.

The Love Local guides available at VisitCentralCoast.com.au and include the following and more:

• Shopping - Our boutiques and bespoke retailers, delivering to your door
• Food and Drink – Our producers delivering to your door
• Food and Drink – Restaurants and cafes delivering to your door
• Taking it online – Virtual workshops and e-classes for kids
• Taking it online – Workshops and e-classes for adults.

We're encouraging people to #lovecentralcoast by supporting local businesses. If that's you, now is the time to ensure that your free business profile on VisitCentralCoast.com.au is looking its best with top quality images, videos and the latest information on your operating hours and services.
