The extended COVID\u201319 lock down currently in place for the Central Coast is the perfect time to take advantage of the latest round of Love Local online guides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Love Local guides feature an extensive range of Central Coast businesses to make it easier for community members to buy local and support exceptional operators in our region during this challenging time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Central Coast Council Director Corporate Affairs and Chief Financial Officer, Natalia Cowley said the Love Local guides are featured on the Love Central Coast website and have continued to grow since their launch in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur Love Local online guides highlight the quality, creativity and breadth of businesses that call the Coast home,\u201d Ms Cowley said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShopping locally delivers a substantial boost to our local economy and during difficult times such as the current required lock down this is more important than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLove Local makes it so easy to connect with local providers and once you\u2019ve made the switch to buy locally you won\u2019t look back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Three new Love Local guides are featured on lovecentralcoast.com:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Council Administrator, Rik Hart said the development and promotion of the guides were an important channel for Council to provide support to local businesses impacted by measures to control COVID\u201319.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cStay at home orders can make it extremely difficult for small businesses to continue to operate and it is vital that local communities rally to support local operators,\u201d Mr Hart said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo many exceptional local businesses on the Coast have created ways for us to continue to access their services online and through takeaway and home delivery \u2013 so I\u2019d encourage everyone to explore and use the local operators featured in our Love Local online guides.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Local consumer facing businesses can sign up for a free listing on the Love Central Coast website and benefit from free promotion to Central Coast locals and visitors to the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
