Back a local
What is 'Back a local'?
Here in Moreton Bay, we’re big in size but even mightier in heart and community spirit, we embrace a sense of community that can rival even the smallest of towns.
Since the introduction of our local preference policy in 2020, Council has been backing a local, continuing to make our region bigger, bolder, brighter.
Team Moreton Bay are rallying locals to #backalocal and support local businesses as we come together as a community to help those that need it most and actively make a choice to spend money with local businesses.
So, next time you go to pull out your wallet, we encourage you to think local first – and eat, drink, shop, play, spend and back a local business.
#backalocal – It’s the Moreton Bay way!
