The Sunshine Coast Business Awards will celebrate another major milestone this year, with a record six businesses being inducted into the prestigious Hall of Fame as the program marks its 30th anniversary and a record 263 entries.

They will be officially recognised on stage at the Gala Celebration on Saturday 8 November 2025, alongside this year’s category winners.
Chair of the Sunshine Coast Business Awards, Jennifer Swaine, said this year’s Hall of Fame cohort reflects the depth, resilience and innovation of the Coast’s business landscape.
“Being inducted into the Hall of Fame is a truly prestigious achievement – it represents sustained excellence over many years. To have a record six businesses, across so many industries, reach this milestone in our 30th year is something very special,” Swaine said.
“The Sunshine Coast Business Awards not only celebrate success, but also tell the story of a region that continues to grow, innovate and make its mark nationally and globally. Our Hall of Fame inductees are shining examples of that spirit.”
The Gala will bring together nearly 1000 business leaders, government representatives and community members for one of the Coast’s most anticipated annual events.
