Local Governments across Australia are encouraged to nominate outstanding projects to be recognised in this year’s National Awards for Local Government.
Now in its 36th year, the awards showcase the achievements and positive impact local governments have on their communities through the work they do in applying creative and tailored solutions to improve community outcomes.
Submissions are welcomed for projects across eleven award categories including Creativity and Culture, Productivity through Infrastructure, Regional Growth, Cohesive Communities, Road Safety, Addressing Violence against Women and their Children, Women in Local Government, Indigenous Recognition, Career Starter, Waste Management, and Disaster Preparedness.
Previous award-winning entries range from the City of Melville’s (WA), Smart City, Smart Grid project that utilises real time data to improve efficiency and sustainability, to the Paroo Shire Council in Queensland’s collaboration with Cunnamulla police to help local youth develop life skills and remove employment barriers through the Blue Light Learner Driver program.
