Advertising
in the POST
works.
The POST is an essential part of life in the western suburbs. Each week our newspaper is distributed to every household and business in the region. Our General Display & Real Estate Ads hit the eyeballs of over 112,000 engaged, interested locals. We also deliver copies to other selected riverside suburbs and commercial centres. We are the paper of choice for advertisers, promoters, businesses and the community. As they say, “Everyone reads the POST”!
“Found you in
the POST.”
Ads in our Trades & Services and General Classifieds sections connect you with quality new customers with minimal effort. They say word of mouth is the best free marketing for small business and advertising in the POST gets people talking. We offer competitive rates and the largest loyal readership who are ready to become your next client or buyer. Some of our tradies advertise with us just to tell people they can’t take on new work!

So if you’ve got something to say or an idea for a story, we want to hear about it.
