Across Penrith, small businesses play a vital role in supporting families, creating jobs, and improving the everyday lives of Penrith residents. The Penrith City Local Business Awards honour these contributions by celebrating the businesses that go above and beyond, earning the trust and admiration of the people they serve.
All businesses receive nominations from members of the community who value their service, friendliness, and dedication. This grassroots recognition gives the awards a warmth and authenticity unmatched by other programs.
Finalists then undergo a fair and thorough judging process, ensuring winners reflect genuine excellence. The Local Business Awards logo has become a symbol of pride for businesses, often displayed prominently as a reminder of their achievement.
Congratulations to Kane Woods of K&A Quality Meats, South Penrith, who was honoured as Businessperson of the Year — a testament to his leadership, dedication, and commitment to exceptional service.
We also proudly acknowledge Penrith Physiotherapy Sports Centre, awarded Business of the Year, recognising their long‑standing contribution to community wellbeing and their reputation for excellence in care.
Member for Penrith, Karen McKeown OAM said:
“Every finalist in this year’s Penrith City Local Business Awards represents the very best of our city. Their hard work, resilience, and commitment to community service make Penrith stronger, and I am proud to celebrate every one of them”
“Penrith has always been a place where small businesses thrive, and this year’s finalists show exactly why. The Local Business Awards shine a spotlight on their achievements, and we congratulate them all for helping make Penrith a city we’re proud to call home.”
