After a seven-year break, the Alstonville Wollongbar Chamber of Commerce Business Awards made a spectacular return on Saturday night — with a sold-out crowd of 160 gathering at Summerland Farm to celebrate the region’s best in business.

Chamber President Jemma Coulter thanked all the businesses that nominated and congratulated this year’s winners and finalists.

“It was such a successful and fun night. The Plateau business community has really grown over the past seven years,” she said.

“It’s been wonderful, as a Chamber, to support both new and emerging businesses as well as our long-standing local talent.”

“We want to recognise the incredible contribution these individuals and businesses make to our local community and economy.”
