Momentum is building towards the much loved event with organisers offering an early bird special of $1500 for a table of 10 if you book before September 14.

“It is important for Astute to be part of the business awards as it gives us the opportunity to spend quality time with the amazing locals, while taking a moment to acknowledge all of our achievements throughout the year,” said Debbie Fagan from Astute.

“It is such a beautiful way to celebrate together, remembering it takes all of us to make the beautiful Shire that we live in.”

Debbie said Astute's advertising was all done by word of mouth, so being a sponsor of the awards allowed the company to ‘give back to the community that gives us so much.’

“We believe it is so important to recognise the hard work in every area of our community for one simple reason; It’s OUR Community and that’s what separates us from the rest.”

This year’s awards evening is themed Gala with a splash of Pink and will raise money for local charity KIND.

Tickets can be purchased now online by hitting the link below.

Voting for the awards is open until Friday, November 2.
