We're excited to announce the return of the 2026 Local Business Awards and nominations are now open!

If you’re running a business in the Cassowary Coast, this is your opportunity to step forward, share your story and be recognised for the impact you’re making across the region.

Whether it's in Cardwell, Tully, Innisfail, Mission Beach or between, businesses are the backbone of our community. From primary industries and trades to tourism, retail and professional services, you create jobs, drive innovation and shape the identity and liveability of our region.

The Awards celebrate excellence, leadership and commitment across a wide range of industries, providing a platform to showcase success and inspire others as we continue to grow stronger together.
