The National Awards for Local Government (National Awards) are an annual celebration of Local Government achievements in Australia. The National Awards highlight initiatives implemented by Local Governments that are innovative, make a difference to their local communities, display excellence, and have outcomes that are replicable across the country.
Following the nomination entry period, councils have the opportunity to recognise the work and achievements of their peers in the local government sector, through an open voting system to determine the 2024 National Award winners. Voting will be open to the public.
