ClubsNSW have been and continue to be a generous partner of Keep Australia Beautiful NSW Sustainable Cities and Tidy Town Sustainable Communities Programs.

Keep Australia Beautiful NSW is a not-for-profit organisation, which has been recognising and encouraging excellence in environmental management and beautification for over 30 years.

Their Award Programs acknowledge the outstanding achievements of clubs, councils, community groups, schools, businesses and dedicated individuals who work tirelessly to protect and enhance the areas in which we all live, work and play.

What is Sustainable Cities®?
The Sustainable Cities® program is the leading community and environmental awards program for metropolitan communities in New South Wales.

The projects carried out not only enhance the environment, but also improve the standard of living and quality of life for urban communities. More than any other metropolitan based environmental program, the Sustainable Cities® Awards inspire the community to make a genuine and lasting contribution to their area, working in partnership with local government and local businesses.

Sustainable Clubs Award
This award recognises the role of metropolitan registered clubs in contributing and supporting voluntary community groups in addition to incorporating sustainable practices into the club’s management practices. This includes recycling and energy/water conservation.
The 2007 recipient of this award was Mounties.

What is Tidy Towns?
Tidy Towns Sustainable Communities is a program that encourages rural communities across NSW to improve environmental outcomes for their town. The program encourages clubs, community groups, councils, businesses and individuals to work together towards the common goal of making their town a better place to live.ClubsNSW sponsors the Club Partnership Award which recognises the role of NSW registered Clubs in contributing and supporting Tidy Towns and other voluntary community groups in their community.
