Nominations are open for Macedon Ranges’ biennial Community Choice Awards, which is aimed at celebrating local businesses that provide outstanding customer service.
Macedon Ranges businesses can be nominated across five categories: agribusiness and primary production; health and wellbeing; hospitality and accommodation; professional, retail, and service; and trades and manufacturing.
According to council, the awards give residents the opportunity to show their appreciation for businesses that make a difference in their lives, from a “café that serves your morning coffee with a smile, a skilled tradesperson who goes the extra mile, or a health provider delivering exceptional care”
Mayor Dom Bonanno said the awards are an important outlet for recognising local businesses.
“We have so many outstanding businesses in our region that provide excellent service and go the extra mile for their customers,” Mr Bonanno said.
“The Community Choice Awards give residents the chance to say thank you and celebrate their contributions.”
In the 2023 Community Choice Awards, 78 local businesses were nominated by the community.
Nominations for the awards are open until Monday, March 24, with the public then able to vote for their favourite businesses from April.
Updates will be provided on the council’s website as the awards process progresses.
