Northern Business Achievement Awards

The Northern Business Achievement Awards (NBAA) is an annual program recognising the success and contribution of small to medium enterprises across Melbourne’s northern region.

The City of Whittlesea, along with the municipalities of Banyule, Darebin, Hume, Merri-bek and Nillumbik, each nominate two outstanding businesses and a Young Business Achiever.

Nominees are showcased at quarterly NBAA breakfast events and progress to the end‑of‑year gala, where category winners are announced.
