We had such a wonderful time at the Business Awards last night! 🥂✨

While we didn’t come away with a trophy this time (which would, of course, have been an amazing achievement!), we still had a few non-award wins worth celebrating. ❤️

Michelle made it through the evening after both she and her son had spent the last 10 days battling Influenza A. She finally tested negative just in time to frock up, show up, and prove that sometimes simply leaving the house deserves a round of applause. 👏

And Andrea... well, Andrea made it ALL the way through the evening this year without getting a phone call to say her little boy was unwell and she needed to rush home. For those who were there last year, you'll remember she didn't even make it to the main course before that exact call came through. 😂😂 So yes, staying until the very end this year was quite frankly a personal victory and probably deserved its own award. 🏆🤣

But in all seriousness, the real purpose of nights like these is to celebrate and support local business.

And last night proved that Port Stephens is absolutely thriving! 🌟

That's because of YOU. The people who choose to shop local, book local, recommend local businesses, leave reviews, and tell your friends about the services you've loved.

Every purchase, booking, recommendation, review, and referral makes a difference.

So while we may not have taken home an award this year, we're incredibly proud to be part of such a fantastic local business community. 💙

Here's to Port Stephens, small business, and all the amazing people who help our local community thrive every day! 🥂✨

📢 TPAR Due 28 August – Does Your Business Need to Lodge?

If your business engages contractors to perform services on your behalf as part of your business operations, you may be required to lodge a Taxable Payments Annual Report (TPAR) with the ATO by 28 August each year.

✅ Who needs to lodge?

Businesses that pay contractors and operate in the following industries may have TPAR obligations:

🏗️ Building & Construction

• Builders & Contractors
• Electricians
• Plumbers
• Carpenters
• Painters
• Excavation & Earthmoving Contractors
• Concreters
• Landscapers

🧹 Cleaning Services

• Commercial Cleaners
• Residential Cleaners
• Window Cleaning Businesses
• Carpet Cleaning Services

🚚 Courier & Road Freight

• Courier Services
• Delivery Services
• Freight Transport Operators

💻 Information Technology (IT)

• IT Consultants
• Software Developers
• Network & Systems Support Providers
• Managed Service Providers (MSPs)





✅ What is a TPAR?

A TPAR reports payments made to contractors who provide services for your business during the financial year. The ATO uses this information to help ensure contractor income is correctly reported and tax obligations are met.

💡 For example, if you're a builder who engages subcontractors, a cleaning business that hires contract cleaners, or an IT business that outsources work to contractors, you may need to lodge a TPAR. A simple one-off repair or maintenance service for your business does not necessarily create a TPAR obligation.

💡 Even if contractor payments are only a small part of your business activities, you may still have a TPAR reporting obligation. If you're unsure, it's best to check before the deadline.

📅 Due Date: 28 August 2026. Lodging on time helps avoid unnecessary stress and potential penalties.
