This year the competition was fairly tight. Cockburn is rather well known as an area with a high level of people following a more sustainable green lifestyle, and after the success and promotion from last years sustainability awards many people were keen to be in with a chance.

There were many entrants in all the different categories, and the Gala Awards Night was a night to remember with numerous tables of hopeful entrants sitting down to a lovely meal with drinks and a night of entertainment.

The categories within the sustainability awards were community groups, large business, households and small business. Each category winner received a trophy and the $1000 cheque, with the major overall winner receiving a cheque for $5000.
