MIRABELLA APPLAUDES BEECHWORTH’S BIG WIN
27-April-2010
Federal Member for Indi, Sophie Mirabella, has congratulated Beechworth on multiple wins in this year’s Tidy Towns Awards.
Beechworth won the Overall Winner of the Australian Tidy Towns, as well as awards for litter prevention and energy innovation.
In addition, the town was awarded a commendation in the Heritage and Culture category.
“This is an outstanding effort for Beechworth, with the support of Indigo Shire, and it shows what can be achieved when communities pull together,” Mrs Mirabella said.
“This is a well deserved win and anyone visiting the town can see the people of Beechworth have a great deal of pride in their town.
“It is an enormous achievement to take out the Overall prize, but to win two further categories and receive a commendation in another is astounding.
“My congratulations go to the Beechworth Tidy Towns committee in their efforts to keep Beechworth on the map, and for their continual encouragement of the town to take part in the various programs.”
