The highly-popular myBarkly voucher scheme is back, with $60,000 worth of vouchers up for grabs.
The Territory Labor Government has invested $40,000 and the Barkly Regional Council an additional $20,000 for the total funding pool.
Residents and tourists can register for the buy local discount program to receive and redeem vouchers via a web application using mobile devices to spend at participating businesses.
Every registered user receives $40 worth of myBarkly discount vouchers upon registration and these are replenished every 24 hours until all the program funds are redeemed.
The business-boosting scheme aims to encourage local spending and help drive the Territory’s economy, supporting food, retail, hospitality and tourism small-businesses operating a shopfront in the Barkly municipality.
The Territory Government is offering a total funding pool worth $1.3 million to local governments to take part in the scheme to boost regional economies.
The program supports local businesses and stimulates the economy as the Territory rebounds from the impacts of COVID-19.
The first round of funding in 2020/21 generated $12 million of economic benefit for local businesses across the Territory.
