The inaugural winners of the We Are Brimbank Awards have been announced.
Brimbank mayor Margaret Giudice said a recent award presentation night was a great way to publicly recognise the exceptional contributions, hard work and determination of organisations and community groups making a difference within Brimbank.
“The recipients have demonstrated an outstanding contribution in their respective categories and it’s an honour for council to pay tribute to these community-minded groups and organisations,” she said.
“We are a proud and vibrant community and this year’s award winners and nominees are very much at the heart of what makes Brimbank such a wonderful place.”
Awards were presented across five categories.
Friends of the Black Powder Mill won the culture, arts and tourism award, Friends of Kororoit Creek took home the environment and sustainability award and Mambourin Enterprises claimed the employment and enterprise award.
Brimbank Youth Ambassadors won the inclusive Brimbank award, while CHASE (Community Health Advancement and Student Engagement) won the learning excellence award.
