Applications for Melton’s annual Business Excellence Awards are now open, and Melton council is encouraging local businesses to apply.
With applications closing on Thursday, July 10, the awards aim to recognise local businesses that provide exceptional service to residents of the Melton municipality and demonstrate outstanding performance, leadership, and commitment to their industry and community.
This year’s awards categories include Health, Wellness and Care, Professional Services, Visitation and Hospitality, Retail Services, Industry and Trade Services, Sustainability Excellence, Disability Inclusion Initiative, Workplace Engagement and Emerging Leadership.
The Business of the Year Award will be decided by the judging panel from the individual category winners.
Mayor Steve Abboushi said the awards “are a fantastic opportunity for our local businesses to showcase their talents to the community and raise awareness of what they do”.
“It’s important we as a community support our local businesses to thrive, so if you know of a business that is doing amazing things, make sure you encourage them to apply for this year’s awards,” Cr Abboushi said.
All winners will be announced at an awards night in September.
Council is also inviting businesses interested in sponsoring the awards to submit an expression of interest.
