Where to Find Local Business and Community Listings on Young Witness

Updated

Young Witness publishes two directory entry points for local business and community information: an Online Directory and the Hilltops Business and Community Directory, which is offered as a digital edition. Both are reachable from the site's main navigation, alongside the News, Sport, Community, Rural, Real estate and Events sections. If you are looking for a Hilltops-region business, community group or service, these directories are the places to start.

The two directory options

Directory What it is Best for
Online Directory A directory section listed in the site navigation General browsing of local listings
Hilltops Business and Community Directory – Digital Edition A digital-edition format directory covering the Hilltops area Finding businesses and community services specifically in the Hilltops region

The Hilltops directory is explicitly framed as covering both business and community, so it is the more targeted choice if your search is tied to that local government area.

How to reach them

  1. Open the Young Witness homepage.
  2. Look through the main navigation, where Online Directory appears alongside the news, sport and lifestyle sections.
  3. Select the directory entry to browse listings.
  4. For the Hilltops-specific directory, look for the Hilltops Business and Community Directory – Digital Edition listing, which sits with the publication's other digital editions.

The expected result is a browsable directory of local businesses and community information rather than a news article feed.

What else sits alongside the directories

The same navigation area links to the publication's other digital editions and its network of regional titles, including the Grenfell Record, Cowra Guardian/Canowindra News, Forbes Advocate, Parkes Champion-Post and Boorowa News. If a listing you want is not in the Young Witness directory, checking those sister publications is a reasonable next step for surrounding areas.

Points to keep in mind

  • The directories are presented as digital editions, so expect a page-by-page or edition-style format rather than a simple searchable database.
  • The site shows Subscribe and Sign In options in its navigation. The available information does not state whether directory access requires a subscription or sign-in, so treat access conditions as unconfirmed until you try.
  • Directory content is oriented to the Hilltops region and its surrounding towns, so it is less useful for businesses outside that area.

If your goal is simply to find a local trader, community group or service in the Young and Hilltops area, start with the Hilltops Business and Community Directory and fall back to the broader Online Directory if you do not find it there.
