2021 Community Choice Awards

On the surface, councils may appear to use a lot of water. In reality, they face the huge task of sustainably managing public green spaces such as parks, verges and median strips for their community.

The Community Choice Awards recognises Waterwise councils as voted by you, who are leading the way with waterwise initiatives and are having a positive impact and long-term benefit on the community.

Vote now for your favourite project

Voting for the 2021 Community Choice Awards is now closed. The winner will be announced 12 May 2021.
