Currently No business in the Hunter or other regions of NSW (other than Greater Sydney) have had access to the NSW Business Grant of up to $15,000 to help with the first 3 weeks of our lockdown. (Unless your business was directly affected by the Sydney lockdown in the time frame of 26 June and 17 July.)There are so many businesses who have now been affected beyond this and the support is not good enough.

This is a petition to have Service NSW offer the same support to Regional Businesses! 

We have been forced to cease operation by the NSW REGIONAL LOCK DOWN since August 5th 2021.We've lost 100% of our income! AND WE'VE HAD ZERO CASES IN OUR LOCAL LGA! WE KNOW WE AREN'T THE ONLY ONES NOT RECEIVING THE BUSINESS SUPPORT NECESSARY! It's time for the government to get serious about support or open up LGAs at low Risk to eased restrictions! 

At this rate we will be looking at our doors being permanently closed. Years of blood, sweat, tears, drought, bushfires and covid to amount to NOTHING!

THIS IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH!! 

SIGN NOW TO SUPPORT THE LOCAL BUSINESSES YOU KNOW AND LOVE!
