Shop Bridge Street. Support Local. Win $150!
To celebrate and support the businesses that make Bridge Street special, we’re launching a Shop & Win competition as part of the Bridge to Better project.

Every time you shop at a participating Bridge Street business between Rutherford and Collingwood Streets, you’ll go in the draw to win $150 in Bridge Bucks to spend right back on Bridge Street.

There are four weekly draws, with winners announced on 20 November, 27 November, 4 December, and 11 December 2025. Each winner can choose one or more Bridge Street businesses to spend their Bridge Bucks in — a great reason to discover somewhere new or revisit your favourites.

You can enter in-store by completing an entry form at the time of your purchase. Every transaction counts as an entry, and there’s no minimum spend required.
