The search is on for local governments making outstanding differences to their communities.
The annual Western Australian Regional Achievement and Community Awards are WA’s most prestigious and publicly recognised regional awards program.
This year, a new award category was added to recognise local governments that are making a significant contribution to regional and rural areas.
The Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries’ Making a Difference Award will recognise collaborative efforts by local governments to ensure positive outcomes for WA’s regional communities.
The winners will be announced at an awards ceremony in October. For more information or to nominate, visit
As stated by Local Government Minister David Templeman:
“Local governments make valuable contributions to their communities every day, so I am pleased to announce and support this new award category which recognises and celebrates the importance of local government working for the benefit of our regional communities.
“I encourage nominations from, or on behalf of, local governments that are making your local community a better place to live.”
