Calls for Dine and Discover vouchers to be extended beyond end of June as less than 10 per cent redeemed
They were touted as “exactly what NSW needs”, but almost four weeks after the state government’s Dine & Discover vouchers were launched, fewer than 10 per cent have been redeemed.
Key points:
- More than 2.6 million people have registered for their vouchers
- A total of 1,616,456 $25 vouchers have been redeemed
- The NSW opposition wants the program extended beyond the end of June
The $500 million scheme was designed to stimulate NSW’s dining and entertainment sectors after major COVID-19 constraints by making $100 worth of vouchers available to 5 million adults.
It was officially launched on March 19 after trials in The Rocks, Broken Hill, Sydney CBD, Northern Beaches and Bega Valley.
