Charing is Caring: A new chapter for a local classic

Charing Cross is home to some of Waverley’s best-kept secrets, from baristas to bakers and boutique curators.

By the end of this year, the upgrade of Charing Cross’ main street will be complete, becoming home to safer footpaths, shadier streets, and more space for outdoor dining!

In the meantime, Charing Cross is still open for business!

So, until the upgrade is complete, we’re encouraging you to show your local businesses some love, with the chance for Charing Cross shoppers to win a $100 voucher.

All you need to do is:

  1. Visit any Charing Cross business
  2. Snap a moment enjoyed in-store
  3. Tag the business and Waverley Council on Instagram or Facebook

The competition will run until 31 August, so make sure to snap and share before then to be in with a chance of winning a $100 voucher to spend at participating businesses.

It’s as easy as snap, tag, win, so go and show your local Charing Cross businesses some love. After all, Charing is Caring!
