Initiated in 1997, these Awards
are designed to recognise and encourage business excellence in the
South Lake Macquarie district.
Residents and customers are invited
to nominate their favourite businesses in the Southlake area including
Wyee, Morisset, Cooranbong, Dora Creek, Eraring and the Morisset
Peninsula.
The 2007 Southlake Business Excellence
Awards have concluded. We will post the results here as soon as possible.
The Southlake Business Excellence
