Melton business excellence finalists named

The finalists for the 2025 City of Melton Business Excellence Awards have been announced, following a record-breaking number of applications.

With applications from a diverse range of industries, 28 finalists have been selected from more than 100 applicants to be considered for the top honour in nine award categories.

The categories are Emerging Leadership, Disability Inclusion, Health, Wellness and Care, Industry and Trade Services, Professional Services, Retail Services, Sustainability Excellence, Visitation and Hospitality and Workplace Engagement.

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.

“Congratulations to all of the finalists and we look forward to celebrating your success at the awards evening.”
