A MILDURA medical group and children’s clothing entrepreneur from Birchip are among the winners of the 2011 Regional Achievement and Community Awards.
Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional and Rural Development Peter Ryan joined more than 350 guests at a gala awards ceremony in Ballarat at the weekend to announce the winners in two key categories sponsored by Regional Development Victoria.
The Tristar Medical Group of Mildura won the Regional Development Victoria Business Achievement Award and Andrea Harrison from Birchip took out the Regional Development Victoria Trade and Career Achievement Award.
