Residents and visitors may enter the competition multiple times. Every $10 spent at a local business will qualify for one (1) entry in the competition. Entrants can submit more than one entry each month with a maximum of ten (10) entries per person, per month. If an entrant spends $100 at a Local Business/Retailer in one transaction, they will receive ten (10) entries in the draw for that month. If an entrant spends $20 at one Local Business/Retailer, and another $30 at another within the same month, they will receive five (5) entries for that month.

Entries for each competition month will accept transactions from the 1st of the month until 11:59pm on the last day of the month. The total prize pool for each month, as well as opening and closing dates, are published on this page.

*A local business or retailer is defined as a business located within a 300 metre radius of the GCLR3 project boundary (located on the Gold Coast Highway, between Hooker Boulevard, Broadbeach to Brake Street, Burleigh Heads).

Together, let’s support local businesses Gold Coast. Keep shopping, eating, drinking and staying along the light rail alignment throughout works and beyond. Businesses located from Broadbeach south to Burleigh Heads on the Gold Coast Highway need your support while Gold Coast Light Rail Stage 3 works are underway. Even when work is occurring right outside a business, the shopfront looks different, and there is traffic and parking changes, don’t let that stop you from going through the front door.

Love Your Local will run until construction is complete. There will be a range of advertisements, pop-up events and activations, shop local competitions and more.

The campaign will focus on;

  • ‘get more from Mermaid’

  • ‘make Nobbys your next stop’

  • ‘keep Miami moving’

  • ‘keep Burleigh buzzing’
