About the Awards

Keep Australia Beautiful WA's annual Tidy Towns Sustainable Communities Awards are for regional and remote communities of all sizes. There are nine categories that communities can enter to showcase their projects. There is a Leadership Award given at the Judges' discretion. Each award has prize money and kudos, with the overall State Winner going on to represent WA in the National Tidy Towns Sustainability Awards.

Entering the awards is your opportunity to celebrate the achievement of your regional community, and show how you are protecting and enhancing your environment. By working together, you are building a sustainable community, making it an amazing place to live and visit. Regional and remote towns, localities and cities and remote indigenous communities in Western Australia can enter projects that have been initiated, completed or maintained between July 2024 and June 2025.

Any local individual, group, shire, council, business, organisation or school can enter their regional or remote community and projects in the awards.

Port and South Hedland is the 2024 State Winner and represented Western Australia at the National Tidy Towns Sustainability Awards in May 2025. The community won several Keep Australia Beautiful national awards, including the Behaviour Change and Engagement Award and the Biodiversity Conservation Award, read more about the national awards here.
