Nominations for the 2024 City of Melton Business Excellence Awards are now open.

Businesses within the City of Melton can nominate themselves or others they believe deserve to be commended for their efforts.

The awards provide an opportunity for traders of all sizes to showcase their strengths and celebrate what sets them apart.

Melton mayor Kathy Majdlik says the awards are an acknowledgment of the great services provided to the community.

“Our businesses are the backbone of our local economy, and it’s important we recognise their outstanding contributions,” she said.

“Whether you’re a small, family-run operation, a large, well-established business, or something in between, it’s a fantastic chance to celebrate your achievements and the services and products you provide to the community.”

This year’s award categories include: innovation and transformation; equality, diversity and inclusion; disability and inclusion Initiative; sustainability excellence; health, wellness and care; visitation and hospitality; new business/start up; professional services; and young entrepreneur of the year

Applications are reviewed by a number of independent and experienced business professionals. Following this, the judges will rank the applications and determine a maximum of three category finalists.

The winners will be announced on Wednesday, September 11 at the awards night.

The Business of the Year Award is open to business across all sectors that demonstrate high delivery and achievement in three or more of the above award categories.

It will be decided by the judging panel made up of individual category award winners.

Applications close midnight on Friday, July 12.
