Buy from Corryong & surrounds is now live!

Towong Shire Council is proud to announce that the Buy from Corryong & surrounds website is now live at www.buyfromcorryong.com.au.

The new website brings local businesses together creating an online shopping experience for customers from all over the country, giving them easy access to local produce, homewares, gifts and more delivered to their door.

The project was funded by the Ovens Murray Regional Partnership and developed by ISSIMO in partnership with Startup Shakeup North East Victoria and Towong Shire Council.

Mayor Wortmann congratulated the businesses who have already set up shop on the platform.

“With ongoing COVID-19 restrictions making regional travel more difficult throughout 2020, businesses in Towong Shire have needed to adapt and find new ways of reaching their customers.”

“It's great to see businesses in the Shire taking the initiative and upskilling themselves for the future by making use of the new Buy from Corryong & surrounds website” he said.

Come February 2021, Julie and Stephen Jarvis will celebrate 21 years running the Corryong Greengrocer - one of the first businesses to sign up for the Buy from Corryong & surrounds website.

The Corryong Greengrocer’s supply and deliver fresh fruit and vegetables, dairy products and fresh flowers to homes and businesses.

Their daughter Emma Klippel helps them run the store and was involved in the set up of their presence on the Buy from Corryong & surrounds website.

“The Buy from Corryong & surrounds website was a welcomed addition to our business” said Emma.

“We were well supported by Council with onsite assistance for set up and prompt replies with any questions we’ve had along the way.”

“The site provides simple steps to allow us to fulfill orders and notify customers when their order is ready for collection.”
