We need your help.

In many Hills towns, business owners have been faced with several crises over the past few years – from the pandemic and the restrictions it brought to the latest cost of living crisis.

But the businesses of Stirling have also had to deal with the loss of the town’s shopping mall to a fire late last year.

The loss of a central hub in any town is likely to impact surrounding businesses and, earlier this year, the Stirling Business Association revealed that some shops were in fact noticing the impacts of lower foot traffic.

When small businesses are thriving, whole communities thrive.

So this is what we want to see in the Hills.

That’s why we’re partnering with 15 small businesses in Stirling to give you even more reason to shop in this beautiful town.

Stirling is already a beautiful place with a myriad of boutiques, day spas, produce stores and cafes on offer, spectacular autumn displays along its main street and a vibrant monthly market.

But we hope our loyalty new loyalty cards will encourage residents from all across the Hills to keep coming back to Stirling and explore all the different things on offer through winter.

The Hills is a community that supports one another when things are tough – we’ve seen this during floods and bushfires and we saw it during the pandemic – and we’re confident we’ll continue to see it as Stirling rebuilds in the wake of the mall fire.

So next time you want to pop out to buy a gift, meet up for a coffee or a go out for meal, head to Stirling and don’t forget to pick up a loyalty card to remind you to keep coming back.

Not only will your completed loyalty card become your entry into our Rebuild Stirling competition – which will offer one lucky shopper a $500 hamper full of goodies from Stirling – it will help support local businesses and keep this wonderful town thriving.
