Information for businesses

Overview


The Love Your Local campaign has supported businesses along the Stage 3 alignment, since October 2022, helping enterprises to continue operating throughout construction.  

Delivered by the Business Engagement Team, in partnership with the Gold Coast Central Chamber of Commerce and community stakeholders, the program assisted local business owners and operators to remain informed and supported by initiatives focused on driving foot traffic during construction. 


Program highlights 

  • More than 380 vouchers were pre-purchased through the Shop Local and Win competition (2022–2025), encouraging the community to support businesses from Broadbeach to Burleigh Heads 

  • More than 7,200 vouchers were redeemed through targeted campaigns designed to assist in offsetting construction impacts 

  • Ten activations, including coffee mornings, live music sessions and community events, were delivered throughout the program, driving engagement and supporting the distribution of a further 430 vouchers 

  • Various local events were sponsored including BLEACH Festival, Nobby’s Street Fiesta and Burleigh bEATS Street Festival 

  • Local businesses took part in Live Location Crosses with Triple M Gold, Sea FM and Hot Tomato, with around 120 broadcasts delivered since early 2023. 


A Lasting Impact 

The Business Engagement Program, which is now complete, has strengthened connections between local businesses, the community and visitors. 

We thank the local business community for their ongoing support and encourage everyone to continue shopping, dining and exploring locally.
