PHAIWA 2020 LOCAL GOVERNMENT POLICY AWARDS
This year marked the 10th Anniversary of the Public Health Advocacy Institute of WA, Local Government Policy Awards. Since 2008, PHAIWA has worked to influence policy, through the promotion and implementation of public health advocacy at local, state, national and international levels. This year’s awards, held at Burswood on Swan; were proudly presented by the Minister for Local Government, Heritage, Culture and Arts, Hon David Templeman MLA.
81 applications were submitted this year from 29 Local Governments, an outstanding achievement, particularly during Covid-19. The awards showcased the exceptional standards of policy work being conducted by our local governments, and the innovative ways in which these community initiatives are being implemented.
Children, the environment and health were clear priorities over the last 12 months, with the PHAIWA Local Government Policy Awards seen as an opportunity to recognise these sustainable projects and programs. We would like to extend our congratulations to all entries this year including;
