Congratulations on registering for Keep Australia Beautiful’s iconic Sustainable Cities award program!
In the lead up to the call for nominations for the 2016 Australian Sustainable Cities Awards, this

represent Western Australia.
Those shortlisted will be visited by a state judge and a submission (very similar to this one) will then
need to be completed to inform the national judge’s visit.

category. Please provide up to 400 words, in either bullet point or full sentence format, in each of the
categories below. Information exceeding this limit may not be considered. Each category is worth 100

You may attach up to 4 high quality images per category to support your submission. If you attach
supporting documents please ensure they are in JPEG format and annotated and referenced in the 400
words written for the related category.
