Love your local at Kingscliff
11 July 2016
Council and business chamber team up to support Kingscliff businesses
A new ‘shop local’ campaign has been launched in Kingscliff, to show that the town is very much open for business while a number of infrastructure projects are underway.
‘Love Your Local at Kingscliff’ is the slogan which will be prominently displayed in local shops and on shopping bags, stickers, badges and websites throughout the campaign. The initiative is a collaboration between Council and the Kingscliff and District Business Chamber.
A friendly competition between Kingscliff traders to come up with a catchy slogan was won by Lisa Smith of Amcal Chempro Chemist, whose idea ‘Love Your Local at Kingscliff’ was selected by the Kingscliff and District Business Chamber.
“As a small community it is important to help each other out, even if it means travelling a little further. It is vital that we don’t change our shopping habits and continue to Love Your Local,” Ms Smith said.
Chamber President, Don Neale, urged all Kingscliff residents - north and south – to support Kingscliff over the next two years.
“As traders, we need to offer customer friendly service more than ever at Kingscliff to encourage residents to stay loyal,” Mr Neale said.
The Kingscliff Bridge over Cudgen Creek will be closed until December 2016, adding a further 11 minutes to the trip from Casuarina Way, Salt Village to Marine Parade, Kingscliff.
Work on the Kingscliff Foreshore Revitalisation project along Marine Parade is set to start early in 2017, with the closure of the Kingscliff Beach Holiday Park for upgrading and the commencement of construction of a seawall.

The ‘Love Your Local at Kingscliff’ campaign will be officially launched to the community at an event at Ed Parker Rotary Park (near the bridge) on Sunday 31 July from 10am – 1pm, hosted by Council and Kingscliff and District Chamber.
Come along for a free sausage sizzle by Kingscliff Rotary, ice cream and activities for the kids.
Council's Community Engagement Network will be there to help with any questions about Kingscliff projects.
The day will include giveaways, Kingscliff Bridge construction information sessions and tours.
The event will kick off Council’s Local Government Week celebrations from 1-7 August.
