Dining vouchers have been added to the Coast is Calling giveaways with 300,000 South Australians to receive up to $50 cashback off a meal.

The new program designed to support coastal hospitality businesses impacted by the algal bloom this summer.

The $15 million Coast is Calling - Dining Cashback will cover the same coastal areas across South Australia as the travel voucher program and will be funded by the state and federal governments as part of the Algal Bloom Summer Plan.

A public ballot will open on Monday 3 November, to be drawn on Monday 10 November, with 60,000 South Australians winning a dining cashback to be used up to Sunday 7 December.

A further four draws of 60,000 cashback opportunities will be held for dining periods spanning December, January, February and March – with a ballot draw at the start of each month for use in that month.

South Australians can sign up for the draw throughout the program, with unsuccessful ballot winners to be automatically entered into subsequent draws unless they opt out.

Ballot winners will receive a unique code. To claim the cashback, diners will be required to upload a copy of their tax invoice from a participating business to a website along with the code to receive 50% of the cost of their meal paid back, up to a maximum of $50.

Participating businesses must be hospitality businesses in eligible coastal postcodes serving food, including restaurants, cafes, pubs, clubs, as well as takeaway venues such as fish and chip shops.

The dining vouchers are in addition to the Coast is Calling Travel Vouchers for accommodation and experiences, which open 1 December.
