Merriwa Community Gift Card Program

Shop Local. Spend Local. Support Local.

Merriwa is proud to be part of the Why Leave Town Gift Card Program, a national initiative designed to keep money circulating within local communities.

Our Merriwa Community Gift Card can be purchased locally and spent only at participating Merriwa businesses — helping support local jobs, services, and community growth.

Whether you’re buying a gift, rewarding staff, or supporting a fundraiser, choosing a Merriwa Community Gift Card directly strengthens our town.

How the Program Works

The Merriwa Community Gift Card works just like a regular EFTPOS card — but it can only be used in Merriwa at participating businesses.

  • Load any amount onto the card
  • Give it as a gift or use it yourself
  • Spend it at local shops, cafés, services, and businesses
  • Every dollar stays in Merriwa

It’s a simple, powerful way to support our community.
