Regional Achievement and Community Awards

Nominations are now open for the 2011 Crown Reserve Trust Award and the Community of the Year Award.

Nominations are open from 17 May 2011 to 5 August 2011.

Crown Lands, as a part of the Department of Primary Industries (DPI) is sponsoring two awards to honour the terrific job by communities managing public land and the work done by reserve trust administrators, such as councils, with separate awards.

It is part of the NSW and ACT Regional Achievement and Community Awards which encourage and reward outstanding individuals, communities and groups in regional and rural NSW and the ACT.  

Last year’s winners were the Banjo Paterson Park Trust (community trust award) and the Silverton Village Community Reserve Trust (corporate managers’ award).

Nominations close on Friday, 5 August. Judging will take place on Friday, 23 September and the winners will receive their awards at a special gala presentation dinner on Saturday, 5 November at the South Tweed Sports Club.
