ROCKHAMPTON Regional Council has been named the overall winner of the Keep Australia Beautiful 2020 Queensland Sustainable Communities Tidy Towns award.
The judges commented Rockhampton delivered a range of well planned and executed projects demonstrating a strong commitment to sustainability and the community across all awards categories, making the town highly deserving of the win.
Running nationally since 1990, the awards have evolved to encompass projects and initiatives with a focus on environmental sustainability and resource management to reflect a growing awareness of the importance of community-led environmental action.
The awards recognise the hard work undertaken by regional towns, councils, individuals and groups and share these best practices and ideas to continue to improve rural towns.
