Two Types of Awards

The Business Awards program will include two sections - the Local Excellence Awards and the NSW Business Chamber aligned Awards.

"After a very successful campaign in 2022, the Awards are back to celebrate the amazing businesses in our region," said Lisa McPherson, Wauchope Chamber Executive Officer. "We are looking forward to seeing more great businesses recognised for their hard work and dedication at the 2023 Gala Dinner. This is the time of year to reflect and celebrate local business and how these businesses enhance our town and lifestyle."

Through the Local Chamber Alliance between the Wauchope Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the NSW Business Chamber, the aligned Awards entries will feed into the NSW Business Chamber Mid North Coast Regional Awards, growing opportunities for local business to gain exposure and promotion to a wider audience. Winners at the regional Awards go through to the State Awards later in the year.
