AN ONLINE PRESENCE FOR YOUR LOCAL CAUSE

Event and campaign pages

For community events, festivals, promotions, campaigns and community initiatives, Hilltops Connect can create a dedicated page that brings everything together in one place.

These pages can include event information, schedules, downloadable forms, participating businesses, maps, promotions, stories, links and other useful resources — tailored to the project.

As an example of a simple but handy event page, visit the Boorowa Irish Woolfest Upcycle page on the Hilltops Connect platform.

Ideal for: events, town-wide promotions, seasonal campaigns, collaborative events and community projects.

Affordable pricing: quoted to suit the size and scope of the project.  

LOCAL SUPPORT IS HOW WE SUPPORT LOCAL

Backed by local business

Hilltops Connect is free for people to explore, search and discover what’s happening across the region.

Community groups, local creatives and local events can be listed free of charge, helping keep the platform useful, inclusive and genuinely community-focused.

That is made possible by local businesses that support Hilltops Connect through paid listings and sponsorships. Their support helps fund the platform, keep community information accessible, and create a stronger local network where businesses, events, creatives and community groups can all be discovered in one place.

Pay It Forward

As part of our Backed by Local Business approach, paid packages can also support a charity, community group or local organisation of your choice.

Simply let us know who you would like to support. We will create a full Hilltops Connect listing for them at no cost and give your business a shout-out for helping make their presence on the platform possible.  We will also add your logo to their listing resulting in additional exposure for your business. 

 

It is a simple way for local businesses to support organisations that matter to them while helping strengthen the wider Hilltops community.

WELL CONNECTED
