Terms and Conditions
 

The City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder, in collaboration with the Kalgoorlie-Boulder Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KBCCI), is currently delivering the #ShopLoKalwa campaign. The campaign aims to create community awareness about the importantce of supporting local businesses, recognising the valuable contribution they make to the Kalgoorlie-Boulder economy and community. 

The #ShopLoKalwa campaign was inspired through consultation with the local business community who recognised a need to collectively engage with local consumers. The importance of the campaign and shopping locally was also revealed through data from the Kalgoorlie-Boudler Local Spend Analysis, conducted by REMPLAN in 2018. The Analysis revealed that 64% of every dollar spent at a local small business stays in the Kalgoorlie-Boulder economy and community. This contrasts with just 3% for online purchases. 

Through the use of #ShopLoKalwa on social media by both local businesses and consumers, the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder and the KBCCI aim to:

• Create exposure for local businesses, their products and services; 
• Promote and celebrate Kalgoorlie-Boulder's unique local business community;
• Encourage a strong relationship between the community and the local business sector.

The City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder's committment to the local business community is further supported by our pledge to the Small Business Friendly Local Government's initiative. 

This initiative, developed by the Small Business Development Corporation, recognises City's work towards, 'better practice' in engaging with our small business community.

The key commitments are to;

• Work to further enhance customer service.                      
• Make small business payments within 30 days.
• Have a process to handle concerns and disputes.
• Investigate and introduce activities to improve the operating environment for small businesses in Kalgoorlie-Boulder, and;
• Work closely with the Kalgoorlie-Boulder Chamber of Commerce and Industry to support and promote local small businesses.

The City is one of the inaugurating local governments who committed to the initiative by signing a Charter in August 2016.
