Independent businesses make an economic contribution that is two to three times greater than that of national retailers (Price Waterhouse Coopers, 2007).

And helped to make Port Macquarie-Hastings a destination for visitors and tourists. This benefits us all.

Local product means fewer transportation miles and reduces tons of pollution and packaging.

5. You helped to create jobs.
Small local businesses In Port Macquarie-Hastings are by far our largest employers.

6. You helped our community develop.
Local businesses donate to local causes at more than twice the rate of nationally owned firms.

7. You invested in local entrepreneurship.
Creativity and uniqueness will continue to be an important bedrock of Port Macquarie-Hastings’ future prosperity.
