Locals have just one more chance to win $250 as Manningham Business’ Buy Local Manningham campaign enters its final week. 

Three individual cash prize of $250 have already been won by local residents for showing their support to Manningham businesses. 

Owner of Leave Looking Gorgeous salon at Macedon Square, Luisa Ortiz, snapped a happy photo of herself at Donvale’s Computer Age Systems while she was getting her PC fixed, uploaded it onto Manningham Business’ Facebook page and became the first winner of the Buy Local Manningham campaign. 

“I was stoked when Council called to say I had won $250 as part of the campaign,” Luisa said. 

“As a local business owner, I know the importance of supporting local businesses.”

Warrandyte local accountant Melinda Anderson also won $250 for her happy snap at The Bakery Warrandyte. 

Manningham City Council Mayor Cr Michelle Kleinert said the Buy Local Manningham campaign was a fun way of encouraging people to support local businesses by purchasing their goods and services in Manningham. 

“Supporting local businesses provides valuable benefits to our community,” she said. 

“Not only does it generate business and develop the local economy, it also enhances the community spirit. We hope this continues long after the campaign ends.” 

Bendigo Bank Doncaster East and Templestowe Village Branch Manager Chris Cahir said the bank was proud to support the campaign by offering four $250 fortnightly cash prizes. 

“Bendigo Bank has a long history of building local communities,” he said. 

“This campaign has been a rewarding experience, supporting local businesses and meeting the community."
