TVN On-Country, the regional builder behind Shepparton’s Munarra Centre, has claimed two major honours at the 2025 Supply Nation Supplier Diversity Awards — Outstanding Impact and Registered Supplier of the Year.

The majority Aboriginal-owned business was recognised for its strong contribution to economic and social outcomes for First Nations communities. Its submission highlighted the Munarra project — the largest contract ever awarded to a First Nations business by the State Government — which also delivered upgrades to the Rumbalara Football and Netball Club. Exceeding ambitious targets, TVN created significant opportunities for Indigenous employment and procurement throughout the build.

Supply Nation works to connect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses with government and corporate buyers, driving growth in Australia’s First Nations business sector.

“This is the highest recognition in the Indigenous business sector, and I’m humbled to accept it on behalf of our entire team,” said TVN On-Country managing director Jebb Hutchison. “When one Aboriginal business succeeds, we all succeed.”
