Northern Business Achievement Awards 2025
SUSTAINABLE BUILDING & DESIGN ARE PROUD TO BE ONE OF TWO BUSINESSES IN NILLUMBIK TO BE NOMINATED
The Northern Business Achievement Awards (NBAA) celebrate the success and innovation of businesses across Melbourne’s northern region. Established to recognise outstanding small to medium enterprises, the awards provide a platform to highlight the contributions of local businesses in areas such as sustainability, leadership, innovation, new start-up and community impact.
Each year, councils from Banyule, Darebin, Hume, Merri-bek, Nillumbik and Whittlesea nominate two exceptional businesses and a Young Business Achiever to be showcased at a quarterly NBAA breakfast event. These nominees then progress to the end-of-year awards gala, where winners are announced across multiple categories.
