HOW DO WE EMBRACE LOCAL?

As an Alexandra Headland local since 1994, supporting our locals is important to me. The last few years have been tough on so many small local businesses. With the pandemic and now the current economic squeeze, I believe we owe it to local businesses to assist them in their ongoing recovery.
