Community support comes in many forms – and for The Bays, that often looks like the generous and ongoing involvement of local businesses who care deeply about the region they call home.

One such business is SMART Business Solutions, led by Shannon Smit, a lifelong Mornington Peninsula local. In recent years, the SMART team has played a key role in supporting The Bays’ fundraising efforts – from helping raise over $30,000 for our Cancer Care Centre in 2022, to backing our recent fundraiser for nurse and midwife education.

What sets SMART apart is the way community giving is woven into their business culture. Whether through fundraising, sponsorship, or matched donations, their team regularly steps up to support local causes – always with an eye on making a meaningful difference close to home.

“We believe every local business has a part to play in building strong, connected communities,” says Shannon. “When our community thrives, we all do.”

The SMART team offers accounting, financial planning, and mortgage broking services to individuals and businesses, all from their head office in Mornington. Known for their holistic, down-to-earth approach, SMART supports clients through every stage of life – whether it’s starting or growing a business, buying a home, managing cash flow, or planning for retirement.

We are incredibly grateful for SMART’s ongoing support of The Bays and their unwavering commitment to the Mornington Peninsula community.
