This annual awards program honours the incredible efforts of local businesses—both large and small—who contribute to the economic, social, and environmental wellbeing of our city.

In 2025, we shine a spotlight on businesses making a real difference across seven key categories:

• Excellence in Community and Customer Support

• Excellence in Environmental Sustainability

• Excellence in Innovation

• Best Micro Business

• Best New Business

From these exceptional category winners, one will be chosen as the City of Casey Business of the Year.

2025 Theme: "Celebrating Excellence through Innovation, Inclusion, and Impact"

This year’s theme encapsulates the heart of what makes our local businesses outstanding—supporting their communities and customers, championing sustainability, fostering creativity, embracing diversity, nurturing new ventures, and showcasing entrepreneurial spirit. It reflects the power of business to drive progress, create positive change, and build a better future for all.

We invite you to share your story, your achievements, and how your business exemplifies this year’s theme. Your contribution helps make the City of Casey a thriving and inspiring place to live, work, and do business.

Before you begin your application, you’ll be asked to complete a Pre-Application Checklist to confirm your eligibility, followed by a few Business Profile Questions. These questions help our Economic Development team better understand your business so we can offer tailored support beyond the Casey Business Awards. 

When you reach the Application Questions, you will be required to choose one category only to apply for. Please note that only one application per business can be submitted. There are five questions in total, with one question specifically aligned to your chosen category. Judging will be based on your responses to all five questions.

We encourage you to take this opportunity to reflect thoughtfully on your business journey, achievements, goals, and strategic direction. This is your chance to showcase what makes your business stand out.
