Leavers 2024 is just around the corner, taking place from 18 – 21 November. Welcoming school leavers offers your business the chance to engage with the region’s next generation of visitors, as well as giving your mid-week visitation a boost during the event.
Submit a Special Offer or Daytime Activation for Leavers 2024
MRBTA, in collaboration with WA Police and the City of Busselton, invites businesses to submit offers that will provide Leavers attendees with engaging, healthy, and fun daytime options that align with the goals of the Leavers WA Strategy. The goals of the Leavers WA Strategy are to provide an attractive, positive, safe environment in which to celebrate Leavers, to empower school leavers to make responsible decisions, to support and collaborate with the community to ensure community safety whilst delivering Leavers, and to create and promote a positive, inclusive Leavers culture.
The wider benefits for the outcomes of Leavers include the following:
- Provide attractive diversionary activities that align with the Leavers WA Strategy (as above).
- Reducing harmful activities: By offering appealing daytime activities, the hope is to help reduce the likelihood of leavers engaging in harmful behaviours such as binge drinking and antisocial behaviour during the day.
- Catering to diverse interests: Helping to increase the variety of activities on offer which cater to the diverse interests of the leavers cohort, ensuring that all participants have access to experiences that appeal to them.
- Enhancing community safety: Engaging leavers in positive activities to help ensure that residents and visitors have a safe experience during the Leavers period.
Promotion of Offers
Participating businesses will be listed on the dedicated Leavers information page on margaretriver.com.
What Should I Submit?
We encourage local businesses to consider submitting the following:
- Special offers (e.g. % off a tour or activity; happy hour coffee and cake)
- Added value deals (e.g. get something free or an upgrade when they purchase)
- Activations (e.g. onsite activities, music)
Please submit the details via our online form.
To maintain alignment with the Leavers WA Strategy, businesses must not include offers for activities that involve alcohol, promote alcohol consumption, or pose a significant safety risk.

Businesses are responsible for ensuring the safety and suitability of their activities or services.
