Hawkesbury City Councils Wins A Local Government Award

Hawkesbury City Council won multiple awards at the Local Government Week Awards 2024 event held in Sydney recently.

Among the awards, were a Leon Kelly OAM Arts and Culture Award for its community project, Bangadyi Nawi (Making a Canoe) and an RH Dougherty Award for Excellence in Communications for its river safety campaign.

Councils from across NSW were recognised for their outstanding achievements over the past year at the Local Government Week awards 2024.

The highly coveted awards celebrate councils who demonstrate excellence across a range of categories such as arts and culture, events, communications and planning.

The awards are an opportunity for councils to showcase and celebrate successful projects, campaigns and plans that have significantly benefited their communities.

Local Government NSW President, Darrelea Turley congratulated all the award recipients and nominees.

“As the peak body for local government in NSW, we are so proud to showcase the wonderful work our NSW councils are doing right across the state for the benefit of their communities,” Cr Turley said.

“These awards, as well as Local Government Week, have once again demonstrated how councils have gone above and beyond in what has been another particularly challenging year for many.

“Whether it be rural, regional or metropolitan areas, it is local government that is on the ground at the frontline, keeping the heart of their communities beating.”

The Local Government Week Awards were established in 1981 to recognise and encourage greater understanding and communication by councils to their communities.
