Christmas shoppers are being encouraged to Buy Regional this Christmas as part of a campaign by the NSW Government to assist regional communities, with many impacted by drought. An online portal has been set up, referring shoppers to a range of non-metropolitan business with online shopping available.

The website also provides advice on how to establish and promote e-commerce, with further information available from NSW Business Connect advisors.

Queanbeyan-Palerang business are encouraged to explore the opportunity, which ties in neatly with the local Shop & Win promotion currently underway across Bungendore and Braidwood.
