Published on 23 September 2025
Mount Alexander Shire Council is inviting the community to vote for the People’s Choice Award as part of the 2025 Mount Alexander Business Awards.
The awards celebrate the people and enterprises that drive positive change in our local economy – through innovation, care, sustainability and community connection.
To vote, visit www.shape.mountalexander.vic.gov.au/business-awards and choose from the list of businesses that entered this year’s awards.
Council’s Manager Economy and Culture Merryn Tinkler, said: “This is a great way for residents to show their support and appreciation for the businesses that make our community thrive.
“Whether it’s your favourite café, a local tradesperson or a business doing quiet but impactful work behind the scenes – every vote counts.”
How to vote
Each person gets one vote and voting is open to people who live in Mount Alexander Shire. The business with the most votes will be awarded the People’s Choice Award at a community celebration later this year.
The Mount Alexander Business Awards celebrate the values of a wellbeing economy – equity, sustainability, innovation, and community resilience – and aims to shine a light on the people behind our most inspiring local enterprises.
Voting closes on Sunday 12 October.
