Welcome to Nearbuy Your Local Business Guide

So, why should you Nearbuy?

In short, buying local helps your community and the environment – locally, nationally and globally.

For starters, buying products and services from the fantastic businesses on your doorstep not only means you're supporting your local economy, but also assisting with local jobs growth.

As we know, our region – especially Wyndham – is growing rapidly. But did you know that forecasters predict a growth of 26% in the next five years?

Local youth, who make up almost 20% of the population, and other jobseekers struggle to find educational and employment opportunities in the western suburbs, meaning more overcrowding on our public transport as they take their skills and enthusiasm to other areas.

By buying local, you not only assist employers in Wyndham and Hobson's Bay to train, employ and develop staff, but help keep people closer to home, school and creche, which can mean less traffic congestion on our roads.

In addition, spending your dollars with local businesses means your goods and services have less distance to travel and you generally receive them faster than if they were ordered from interstate or overseas.

Whether you prefer to touch, feel and sample home wares, clothes, shoes or grocery items in a traditional shopfront, or browse online from the comfort of your own home, Nearbuy is for you!

From accommodation to accountants, plumbing to party hire, dry cleaners to decking, finance to florists, this is your local business guide and has exactly what you're looking for!

Where has Nearbuy come from?

So we can make it even easier to buy local, we've merged with Potent Web Design who (with nine years' experience in making websites work) is building an exciting online space to source and purchase local products and services...and yes, Potent are a local business too!

Its traditional print meets digital revolution to create the very best business guide as a resource for you – the residents of Wyndham.
