“I am proud to announce that we have taken out another win for our sustainability efforts, winning the Hey Tosser! Litter Action Award for our project ‘’,” Mayor Helen McCaffrey said.
“The award recognises our commitment and ongoing efforts to improving our litter management by raising awareness on littering and focusing on a preventative approach to combat the issue.
“Earlier this year we launched a Litter Strategy with the key objectives to develop local initiatives, increase litter enforcement, boost community pride and routinely evaluate the results.
“City of Canada Bay has won numerous major Keep NSW Beautiful awards in the last few years and last year won the Overall Metropolitan Sustainability Award, therefore hosting this year’s awards at Concord Function Centre.”
“This is a great achievement for City of Canada Bay. We are a leading sustainable Council, committed to a sustainable future and have a vision to reduce litter by 50 percent in hotspots by working with residents, community groups, schools, businesses and other councils to reach this target.”
The Blue Star Awards recognise and celebrate the hard work of NSW citizens and councils who promote environmental management in their local area.
and are the driving forces behind our journey towards a litter free Australia.
