Barwon Heads Road Upgrade
Shop to the Top
Competition
Terms and Conditions
VIDA Roads, the Promoter, is upgrading Barwon Heads Road. During construction, there will be changed traffic conditions along Barwon Heads Road and a two-week closure of Central Boulevard in January 2026, the signalised intersection to The Village Warralily from Barwon Heads Road.
We understand that roadworks can impact local businesses, and we're committed to supporting them. That's why we're launching "Shop to the Top," a competition designed to benefit traders along Barwon Heads Road, within the work zone between Reserve Road to Lake Road. The competition will also benefit local schools.
How you can make a difference
We are inviting local schools within the Armstrong Creek and Charlemont communities to compete for a significant cash prize. For each dollar spent at participating stores, you will contribute one point for your chosen school.
All members of the public can participate by shopping at these stores and assigning their points to their preferred school among the list of participating schools.
No minimum spend is required. Every purchase, big or small, helps your chosen school. To submit your entry for proof of purchase, take a photo of your receipt and complete our easy online form. Alternatively, customers can write the name of their preferred school on the hard copy receipt and drop it into an entry box located in The Village Warralily Shopping Centre.
Competition details
The " Shop to the Top" competition runs for eight weeks, from Monday 9 February 2026 to Thursday 30 April 2026.
The winning school will be awarded $5,000 cash prize.
Winning schools must use the prize money for equipment or improvements that benefit the school community and align with the public benefit purpose of this initiative.
By shopping local, you're not only supporting Barwon Heads Road businesses but also investing in the future of our local schools. Let's build a brighter future, together!
