Last chance – have your council’s excellence recognised
Time is running out to enter the 2026 AR Bluett Memorial Award, which recognises councils that have demonstrated the most excellence and progress during the past year.
The Award is presented in two categories:
- City and Regional Councils – this includes city, metropolitan and major regional rural councils.
- Rural Councils – this includes all other rural councils.
Gaining recognition through the Bluett Award process enables positive feedback within your organisation and community, which has an amazing impact upon confidence and culture.
The application process is streamlined to ensure all councils are able to apply.
