Member for Burleigh Michael Hart today urged the Burleigh community to recognise outstanding local businesses by nominating them for the 2013 Telstra Australian Business Awards.
The prestigious Awards program that celebrates the successes and entrepreneurial spirit of Australian businesses is now open for the 21st year.

“By nominating a local business, you’re giving them a unique opportunity to prosper. Finalists and winners get to boost their national profile and expand their network by mixing with successful alumni of the Awards.
“Let’s get behind the entrepreneurs and innovators in our community who are making a difference to our local and national prosperity,” Mr Hart said.
