Map Launch
On Friday 24 November 2023, Business Mount Alexander launched the Mount Alexander Tastes map, funded by Business Victoria for visitors to find local places to drink, dine and purchase local produce.
We celebrated at Maldon Getaways which a great way for people to get a sense of where visitors are welcomed for Jamie Heffernan’s accommodation collective.
Huge thanks to local brand and digital specialist Elizabeth Geddes for the user friendly design.
BMA has distributed the map to businesses across the shire, and we have secured further funding to digitise this map and print an ‘Cooler Months’ edition.
