Businesses across Port Augusta are set to be recognised for their achievements following the opening of nominations for the 2025–26 Rowe Partners Port Augusta Outstanding Business Awards.
Community members are being invited to nominate businesses they believe consistently provide exceptional customer service, support the local economy and make a positive contribution to the community. The awards celebrate enterprises of all sizes, from family-owned operations and retail stores to hospitality venues, professional services and trades.
Organisers say the annual awards are an opportunity for residents to acknowledge the businesses that go above and beyond in serving customers while helping strengthen the region's economy. Local businesses play a vital role in creating jobs, supporting community organisations and encouraging investment throughout Port Augusta and surrounding areas.
The awards are coordinated by Port Augusta City Council in partnership with local sponsors, including Rowe Partners, and are designed to highlight excellence across a broad range of industries. Businesses do not need to nominate themselves, with customers, employees, suppliers and community members all encouraged to submit nominations for deserving organisations.
Following the nomination period, eligible businesses will be invited to participate in the judging process. Finalists are expected to be assessed on criteria such as customer service, business performance, innovation, professionalism and their contribution to the wider community. Winners will be announced at an awards presentation later in the year.
The awards have become an important event for the Port Augusta business community, providing recognition for businesses that continue to invest in the region despite challenging economic conditions. Organisers believe celebrating local success encourages consumer confidence and reminds residents of the importance of supporting businesses within their own community.
Local officials say strong small businesses are essential to regional development, providing employment opportunities and helping attract visitors and investment to Port Augusta. Public recognition through the awards also gives businesses an opportunity to showcase their achievements and raise their profile among customers and industry peers.
Community members are encouraged to consider businesses that have delivered outstanding service over the past year or demonstrated innovation, resilience or commitment to improving the local area. Every nomination helps acknowledge the hard work of business owners and staff who contribute to the economic and social wellbeing of Port Augusta.
Organisers hope this year's awards will attract strong community participation and continue the tradition of celebrating excellence in regional South Australian business. Nominations are now open, and residents are encouraged to submit entries before the closing date through the official awards process.
