Spreading business skills and knowledge is one of the keys to economic prosperity in any community. CitiPower firmly believes that Business Award programs are one of the best ways to share business know-how. That’s why we're the founding sponsors of the Port Phillip Business Awards, and will continue this support for the years ahead.
The Port Phillip Business Awards provide local businesses with valuable benchmarks by which to assess themselves. We urge all businesses interested in improving their performance to study, contact and listen to the winners, for ideas they can adopt.
As the distributor of electricity to Melbourne's CBD and inner suburbs, CitiPower faces the same business challenges as our customers to meet your needs, to improve efficiency and to contribute to the economic welfare of the area.
We congratulate all those involved with the Port Phillip Business Awards. Whether organiser, entrant, sponsor or supporter, let’s make the most of the opportunities they offer.

From its very early history Bendigo Bank has sought to engage with the communities in which we operate. Whether it be providing funding for building houses during the gold rush or somewhat more recently, raising funds for the redevelopment of a Hydro Pool complex in suburban Melbourne Bendigo Bank always has the success of its communities at the forefront.
The way Bendigo Bank partners with its community is as varied and unique as the individuals that work for the organisation.
South Melbourne branch, in particular, is located in the heart of the City of Port Phillip and many of the partnerships developed by the branch involve both the business sector but also the not-for-profit and community based organisations within the precinct.
Elwood Community Bank® Branch is a franchise of Bendigo Bank and was primarily established to restore banking services back to Elwood and the surrounding areas. This partnership formed with Bendigo Bank nine years ago sees many City of Port Phillip residents as shareholders in the Elwood Community Bank® Branch. Profits are continually being distributed to many groups and organisations throughout the area.
It is with great enthusiasm that the South Melbourne and Elwood branches have embraced the concept of the Citipower Port Phillip Business Excellence Awards by sponsoring the "Partnership Award" as we believe it reflects the branch's ongoing commitment to bringing the community together in a spirit of cooperation to the mutual benefit of all.
Coming from this background and history of building a successful partnership with the community and Bendigo Bank, we are extremely proud to be associated with the City of Port Phillip Business Excellence awards in the “Partnerships” category.
