Meet the sponsors of the 2025 Melton Business Excellence Awards
The Melton Business Excellence Awards are an annual highlight, and the jewel in the crown, in the Venture Melton calendar of programs and events.
The Melton Business Excellence Awards (MBEA) program celebrates business excellence and showcases the high level of innovation, resilience and entrepreneurial spirit in the City of Melton.
In 2025, over 100 submissions were received from businesses across nine award categories. In just a few weeks, on Wednesday 10 September, over 200 guests, including representatives from the top 3 organisations in each category, will gather at WestWaters Entertainment Complex in Caroline Springs, to celebrate the achievements of our finalists.
The 2025 Melton Business Excellence Awards would not be possible without support from our sponsors.
Melton City Council gratefully acknowledges the generous support from our corporate partners. Their support allows us to put on a great show and deliver an entertaining and memorable Awards Night for our guests and program participants.

Melton Disability Advisory Committee (DAC)
With approximately 21.4% of Australians, around 5.5 million people, and 17% of Victorians identifying as with disability, inclusive practices are not only vital, but they are also imperative to reflect the diversity of our community. The DAC serves as Council’s primary advisory body on disability matters, playing a critical role in promoting inclusion and accessibility across the municipality. The Committee is made up of people with disability, carers, and a local disability service provider. Find out more on our website.
