Add or update a listing

MyShire is a convenient and secure service for community groups and businesses that service the Bega Valley Local Government Area to interact with Bega Valley Shire Council. You need to register and create a login with MyShire to manage your Bega Valley Local Directory listing.

For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions the administrator is deemed to be Bega Valley Shire Council and those staff involved in creating or maintaining the platform. 

1. Log in or create an account

Navigate to the Bega Valley MyShire website here. If you are new to MyShire, create an account by clicking 'get started' at the bottom of the page. If you already have an account and want to add another listing, please log in.

To create a registered user account you must submit a valid email address. You will use this account to submit and maintain your listings using the MyShire dashboard. We encourage all business and community groups to register with a dedicated email address, so the account is not tied to a personal account.

During the submission process, you will receive auto-generated emails, coming from noreply@opencities.com. Please check if this address is on your ‘safe sender’ list (your system may delete the emails or send them to junk mail folder).

2. Add listing

Select 'Submit your Bega Valley Local directory listing' from the dashboard and complete all required fields.

When creating a listing, please be sure that you have the rights to use and distribute any supplied content and images. Consider copyright or ownership protected materials, which could breach applicable laws (defamation, privacy, trade practices, financial rules and regulations, fair use, trademarks).

3. Submit for approval

When all the listing details are added, select 'submit' at the bottom of the page. You will receive a confirmation email once the listing is approved. 

Bega Valley Shire Council will review your content before it will be published on our website. It may take up to 5 business days for Council to review and approve Bega Valley Local directory listing.

To update a listing, login to your MyShire account and click 'Manage your listing'

  • Find the relevant listing and select the three dots under 'manage'
