The Banksia Awards over the last 23 years have recognised many valuable Australians for their tireless efforts in making a positive difference to our environment. Leading by example, the finalists and winners of the Banksia Environmental Awards have inspired and motivated other individuals, organisations and companies across Australia to take up the vision, pursuit and practice of environmental excellence.

In 2011, SustainAbility Stars was awarded the Banksia Community Grant of $10,000. The Community Grant is awarded by the judges to “the community group that shows the most potential to create a lasting and positive impact.”

The Sustainable Cities Awards recognise and celebrate the many different ways that metropolitan communities have taken action to protect and enhance their environment.

In 2011, EW Tipping Foundation won the Pam Keating Environmental Sustainability Category under the Sustainable Cities Awards.

Now in their ninth year, the Premier’s Sustainability Awards recognise and reward Victorian businesses, institutions, communities and individuals that are forging a sustainable Victoria now and for the future.

Each year, in support of UNEP World Environment Day (June 5), the United Nations Association of Australia recognises innovative and outstanding environmental programs and initiatives from across Australia and the important work of Australian environmental leaders through its World Environment Day Awards program.
