It was a pleasure to celebrate our business community at the 15th annual City of Melton Business Excellence Awards.

I’m proud to see local businesses play a pivotal role in our economy and bring us all access to high quality and important products and services.

Since 2020, we have faced some incredibly challenging obstacles which heavily impacted many businesses, and I commend the way that businesses across our city have managed these challenges.

This year we had a high calibre of nominees and finalists which is credit to the success and work of local operators.

At the awards, we recognised the incredible achievements of some outstanding businesses and I congratulate all the winners and finalists on their dedication, innovation and leadership.

Their entrepreneurial pursuits are incredible assets to our community and it’s this hard work that makes ours one of the most resilient and hard-working business communities in Melbourne’s west.

I would especially like to congratulate Varcon Group for taking out the prestigious Business of the Year award. Varcon Group is a family-owned and operated construction company with nearly 50 years of heritage in the City of Melton.

I would also like to thank the award sponsors, including official media partner, Star Weekly, and principal sponsor, Atherstone, for helping to make these awards possible.

Congratulations again to our winners, finalists, and nominees. May your businesses continue to thrive in our city.

Cr Lara Carli,

Mayor, City of Melton
