Moreton Bay Business and Innovation Awards 2025 finalists
Construction, manufacturing, hospitality and healthcare are just some of the industries that have made the finals in this year’s Moreton Bay Business and Innovation Awards.
Sixty-one businesses have been shortlisted in the annual awards with the winners to be revealed in October.
Presented by Tourism and Events Moreton Bay, in partnership with Moreton Bay City Council, the awards shine a light on the achievements of businesses throughout the city.
Mayor Peter Flannery commends finalists for their commitment, endurance and resilience in small business – the backbone of the city’s economy.
“Our finalists stand as shining examples of motivation, showcasing determination and superior performance,” Mayor Flannery says.
“They have not merely endured challenging periods but have prospered and established fresh standards for achievement.
“These awards recognise the variety and robustness of our business sector, spanning emerging talents to essential priority industries detailed in our City's Economic Development Strategy.
“City of Moreton Bay persists in thriving economically, owing to the creativity and devotion of our local enterprises.”
Tourism and Events Moreton Bay CEO Luke Edwards says the awards are a timely opportunity for the city’s business community to celebrate its success.
“Moreton Bay is entering an exciting time as we see more investment into the region, greater connectivity and opportunities for small businesses. These awards are a great opportunity to stop and reflect on the important role small businesses play in the city as we march towards Brisbane 2032.”
The 13 categories, together with the City of Moreton Bay Business of the Year Award, emphasise excellence in diverse areas such as accessibility, customer service, advanced manufacturing, innovation and corporate social responsibility.
A panel of 25 judges from public and private sectors will decide the winners which will be announced at a gala awards ceremony on October 30 at Eatons Hill Hotel.
