COG won the Keep Australia Beautiful ACT Sustainable Cities Award in the Nature Conservation Category and was also the overall winner for the ACT awards.
I received the rewards on behalf of COG at a ceremony at Government House. The awards are framed certificates.
Being the overall winner means we are now in the National competition which will be judged in September, and the results announced at a ceremony in Brisbane in November.
COG's application was put together by Alison Russell- French, Neil Hermes and myself with help from Jenny Bounds and Chris Davey. We were obviously a great team.
I will bring the awards to the next members' meeting for members to have a look at them.
