It is with great disappointment that Keep Australia Beautiful has come to the decision to cancel the face to face Australian Sustainable Communities Tidy Towns Awards event to be held in Alice Springs and Santa Teresa on 13 & 14 October. The decision to cancel the awards event was a tough one, but a necessary one since border closures and State Government restrictions mean the event is no longer viable. Please still keep the dates of 13 & 14 October free in your diariesas we are exploring options to deliver an online event, most likely in two parts, so that we can still celebrate the wonderful work of communities around Australia. We will share details of these as soon as possible. We will continue to do everything we can to help our communities stay safe, informed, and connected.
