Now in its fourth year, The Beacon Awards continue to shine a light on the incredible individuals, businesses, and community champions who help make our district such a vibrant place to live and work.  

Every year, the Beacon Awards bring together the brightest and most talented people from across a wide range of sectors, from start-ups and small enterprises to major employers, innovators, and leaders in entertainment, sport, business, and technology. We proudly recognise their hard work, dedication, and the impact they make in their industries and across our local economy.
