KNOW A LOCAL SMALL BUSINESS THAT DESERVES SOME RECOGNITION?

Our local small businesses are the heartbeat of our communities, from the café that knows your coffee order, to the tradie you can always count on,
the retailer who goes above and beyond, or the family-run business that is always willing to lend a hand.

As part of NSW Small Business Month this October, Member for Cootamundra Steph Cooke is inviting residents to nominate their favourite small business in the Cootamundra electorate.
Successful nominees will receive a certificate of recognition and a visit from Ms Cooke, who will also share their story across her social media channels.

sponsor sporting teams and community events and provide the services we rely on every day.

Nominate them before 30 September 2026.
