Community TAB supports Parks & Leisure Awards four years running
Community TAB was major sponsor of the Parks and Leisure Australia WA (PLA WA) Awards of Excellence, on Thursday 6 June, for the fourth year in a row.
The annual awards recognise outstanding initiatives and innovative effort of people who create opportunities for the good use of leisure time for a number of social, environmental and economic benefits to the community.
Award categories include Park of the Year, Community Facility of the Year, Best Regional/Rural Industry Contribution and Playspace Awards.
Community TAB General Manager Matthew Thomas said Community TAB has been an ongoing supporter of PLA WA for many years.
“We have been so proud to support the Awards for years and also in 2019 as major sponsor and sponsor of the Best Regional/Rural Industry Contribution category,” Mr Thomas said.
“Community TAB recognises the vital role associations such as PLA WA play in ensuring a healthy lifestyle for Western Australians, both physically and mentally, and is proud to be affiliated with such an important organisation.
“We take the responsibility of giving back to the industries in which we operate seriously and we are thrilled to have been able to do this through PLA to support communities throughout WA, specifically in regional areas as sponsor of this category.”
The winner of the Community TAB Best Regional/Rural Industry Contribution was EPCAD and the City of Greater Geraldton for the Beresford Foreshore Enhancement Project which was an $18.8million project that addressed longstanding erosion issues and transformed the coastline saving government infrastructure worth more than $55million.
The project involved coastal protection works integrated with high quality landscaping including a shared use promenade, family picnic areas and playground creating a continuous high quality and appealing coastal environment.
Kelly Park Playground Replacement by City of Bunbury/Active Discovery and Merredin Peak Play and Cafe by Belgravia Leisure were also nominees for the award category.
