Here are some of the ways you said you like to Layer up Local!
"Layer up by treating yourself to local craftsmanship and indulge in life's simple pleasure of appreciating the talent of those in our community." - Mark
"For me, layering up isn’t just about what I wear - it’s about how I live. I start my mornings with a coffee from a local café before heading to teach Pilates, then spend weekends hunting for hidden treasures in op shops. I love discovering and supporting new small businesses, whether that’s a boutique, a market stall, or a family-run café. And on the nights I’m staying in, you’ll usually find me ordering Uber Eats from a local restaurant instead of a big chain. Layer by layer, these little choices help me support my community while adding personality, comfort and connection to everyday life. That’s my favourite way to layer up." - Lauren
"Sprinkle a little bit of love & shopping support, layer after layer on all our beautiful small businesses in Nillumbik shire, the warmth & community spirit will return to you in layers xx" - Amanda
"Wool, rain coats and a hand-warming, soul-warming cup of hot chocolate to keep you steady as you wander the shopfronts of our brilliant little towns." - Olivia
"For me, the best way to Layer up Local is to make supporting local businesses part of everyday life. Whether it’s grabbing a coffee, buying groceries, enjoying a meal or shopping locally, every little bit helps strengthen our community" - Hema
"I layer up local by enjoying coffee trips to Eltham and Hurstbridge, exploring local cafés and shops, and supporting the small businesses that make Nillumbik such a welcoming place. It’s the perfect way to discover something new while giving back to the community." - Deepika
"The best way to layer up local in Nillumbik is to rug up in locally bought beanies, scarves and cosy knits, warm your hands with a coffee from one of our fantastic cafés, fill up on a delicious meal from a local restaurant, and top it all off with a cheeky local wine or a well-earned pint. That’s layering done the Nillumbik way - one cosy stop at a time!" - Brittany
