Ministers Foreword It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 2012 Keep Australia Beautiful Victoria Sustainable Cities and Clean Beaches Awards. These awards recognise organisations and communities who are prepared to take action in their local area for the improvement of the environment and the community as a whole. In public spaces across the state, including foreshores, streets, parks, gardens, heritage sites and more, these organisations and individuals have demonstrated their pride and collective ownership, of which all us enjoy the benefit. The breadth of entries show that while the projects vary in scope and geography – from the Bass Coast to McCrae, Indented Head to Lake Boga – they all require a commitment to a shared vision and sustained effort from dedicated people. In most cases, if not all, these projects would not have been completed had it not been for the support of volunteers. It is this spirit of civic pride, a desire to improve the environment and the sense of fun and friendship that we celebrate and recognise through these awards. On behalf of the Victorian Government I would like to congratulate all community members, councils, schools and individuals who entered this year’s awards, as well as the finalists in each category, for your outstanding efforts. The Sustainable Cities and Clean Beaches Awards showcase the breadth of activity being taken every day to ensure Victoria is a beautiful, liveable and sustainable state. They also highlight that it is local people who are the best ambassadors for their local environment – and I thank each of you for your dedicated participation. The Hon Ryan Smith MP Minister for Environment and Climate Change Host Well-known radio and television personality, Myf Warhurst grew up in regional Victoria before moving to the city to study Music and Fine Arts. Her career in journalism started at the Age, then as Editor of Inpress magazine before she moved to radio as a show business reporter on Triple J’s Drive show. After a year, Myf moved on to a number of hosting roles ranging from the Saturday night request show to the popular Triple J Breakfast Show with Jay and The Doctor. On television, Myf rose to prominence as a team captain on Spicks and Specks, one of the ABC’s most successful shows that ran for 277 episodes over seven years. Fortunately, she still continues to grace our screens and her first solo venture has been the popular retro TV Series “Myf Warhurt’s NICE”.

The Annual Public Meeting provided us with a clear way to engage with you, our audience and owners.
