Rochester finalists for Tidy Town Sustainable Community award

Keep Victoria Beautiful chief executive Sabina Wills said the awards are "a great way to celebrate the good work that occurs all year round in our communities".

“Often this work goes unnoticed and unrewarded, so this is an opportunity to acknowledge the valuable contributions that have been made by individuals and groups.

“We are proud of our town and the work the community has done to make it a better place to live, work and play.”

The 35-year-old awards also recognise seven others projects or organisations in Campaspe Shire.
