Councillor Don Palmer Providing Local Leadership & Working for You

Finalists of the prestigious 2014 Restaurant & Catering Awards for Excellence have officially been announced, with an outstanding 20 businesses from the City of Unley nominated across 23 categories.

This is fantastic news and one that shows that the businesses that are apt of th changing demographic of businesses along or shopping strips are of the best class in what they do. Our CEO, Peter Tsokas obviously agrees in being quoted as saying the announcement was a great reflection of the flourishing food and coffee scene in the City of Unley.
“Our City is blessed with a diverse range of restaurants and cafes which is hugely important not only to create vibrancy but also as a key economic driver,” he said.
“One of the great benefits of living in and around the area is that a short walk will take you to a number of dining options. This is why so many visitors are attracted to our City.”

I agree whole heatedly.
Our Business and Economic Development Manager, Matt Grant attributes the increased awareness of Unley restaurants and cafes to the Council’s creation of digital and online marketing initiatives such as the ‘Find Your Everything’ website.
Matt also said “Initiatives like the ‘Find Your Everything’ website and the recently launched FYE free quarterly digital magazine provide a fantastic platform for our main street businesses to market themselves, and greatly assist in promoting destination businesses in the City of Unley.”

As a member of the Unley Business & Economic Development Committee I concur also with Matt. The Find Your Everything digital strategy is helping to produce great results for our businesses.
The City of Unley was also named as a finalist in the ‘Best Service Provider’ category for the ‘Find Your Everything’ campaign supporting the region’s hospitality sector.
Winners will be announced at a gala dinner on Monday 4 August at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre.
