New for 2024 – Sustainable Management award

This award recognises Sustainable Management work for the community, which, as an example relocation of outdated infrastructure (eg: Playground equipment) that has served its purpose in South Australia.

This category will consider projects where infrastructure or items have serviced their purpose in South Australia, and rather than being put into landfill, Service Club members have actively worked to repurposed to another community either within Australia or overseas.

The Club putting forward a project in this category must have played a role in the removal of items from their location in South Australia and then been involved in the process to secure the new location.
