Rosalie Village Extends ‘March Munch & Win’ to Support Local Businesses

With just over a week left, Rosalie Village has extended its March Munch & Win prize draw, giving residents another shot at a $2,000 prize—and a good meal.



Rosalie Village Extends ‘March Munch & Win’ as Local Businesses Rally After Cyclone Setback

Rosalie Village is giving locals more time to dine and win, extending its popular “March Munch & Win” campaign to Friday, 11 April. The extension comes after recent weather disruptions from an ex-tropical cyclone impacted parts of Brisbane. 

Originally set to end on 31 March, the campaign supports Paddington’s community-run eateries and shops for a chance to win a prize pack worth over $2,000.

Local Support at the Centre

The campaign invites people to discover or rediscover Rosalie Village’s cafes, restaurants, and wellness spots, aiming to boost foot traffic and support small businesses as they recover from recent weather challenges.

Backed by Brisbane City Council’s “Growing Precincts Together” program, the initiative showcases how local government and business owners can work together to keep neighbourhood precincts thriving. Community response has been positive, with many locals embracing the focus on supporting independent traders and the vibrant local economy.

How to Submit Your Entry

The competition’s simple format—dining at three different Rosalie venues and collecting a staff signature at each—makes it accessible to a wide audience. Entry cards are available at participating venues, and completed cards can be dropped into collection boxes on-site.



What’s on Offer

The prize pack features a variety of contributions from local businesses, including spa treatments, fitness passes, garden centre vouchers, and dining gift cards. It highlights the diverse experiences Rosalie Village has to offer, from yoga and pilates to gourmet food and beauty services. 

Local business owners have welcomed the renewed interest in the precinct, saying the campaign has helped bring in new customers while encouraging regulars to discover more of what’s available. The extension comes as a timely boost following recent weather disruptions.

The competition winner will be drawn after the closing date of 11 April. Check Rosalie Village website for more info.
