Held biennially over the last 20 years, the Temora Shire Business Awards are the Temora Shire’s business communities’ night of nights where we celebrate all things in business excellence.

The Temora Shire Business Awards plays a vital role in supporting the local business community. The awards process provides local businesses the opportunity to reflect on their current business operations and strive for excellence.

Nominated individuals and businesses are supported through the process by Business NSW and Temora Shire’s local business chamber, Temora Business Enterprise Group.

Winners at the local awards go on to the regional awards, and if successful, ultimately the state awards. This is a prestigious opportunity for businesses who go that far.
