Voting is open for the Onkaparinga Business Awards

Published on 03 October 2024

Get your votes in by Sunday 27 October for your favourite local business in the 2024 Onkaparinga Business Awards. 

The awards recognise and celebrate the businesses that make the region thrive. And the judges are – you!

You can vote for as many of your favourite businesses as you like but only one vote per business is counted.

“Last year, more than 9,000 votes were received for more than 400 local businesses, from large companies to sole traders,” says Dara Boucher, Onkaparinga’s Business Engagement and Communications officer.

“We have 15 categories in the awards as we’re keen to recognise the important impact businesses have across all sectors, from hospitality and retail to the creative arts and personal and professional services.

“No matter their size, they build our local economy and contribute to the vibrancy of our community.”

To be eligible, businesses must have a valid ABN with their central business address located within the City of Onkaparinga region.

Three finalists in each of the 15 categories will be named on Thursday 31 October based on the number of votes.

Winners will be announced at the awards night at the Vale Restaurant and Bar in McLaren Flat on Wednesday 13 November.

Voting is online, in stores displaying the QR code flyers, or at pop-up voting stations in all regional shopping centres.

When voting online, simply start typing the name of your favourite business and choose it from the drop-down list if it appears. If it’s not there, just keep typing to add a new business.
