In its 18th year, the Melton Business Excellence Awards aim to recognise and reward the fantastic contributions local businesses make to the diverse municipality of Melton.

Melton mayor Steve Abboushi said it was fantastic to see so many local businesses thriving, as evidenced in this year’s record-breaking number of applications for the awards.

“The diverse range of businesses in the [Melton municipality] are the lifeblood of our community and council is proud to showcase the amazing things they are doing through these awards,” Cr Abboushi said.

“I would like to thank every business that took the time to apply. The judges were impressed with the high calibre of all the submissions,” he said.
