"These awards recognise community commitment and contribution and we congratulate the Dewent Valley Autumn Festival, and all of the nominees for their achievements," said Stephen Pratt, general manager of award sponsor Prime Super. The prize included a trophy, certificate, $1000 Commonwealth Bank account or an advertising package from Southern Cross Television. The award was accepted by festival chairman Nick Cracknell.
The festival's award nomination said there had been an estimated 18,000 visitors at this year's festival at New Norfolk. The volunteer committee worked endless hours to ensure that the festival had something for the whole family to enjoy. Interactive games for children, animals, food and wine, crafts and music showcased what is available in the Valley. Free entry is made possible due to naming rights sponsorship and Council, community group and local business support for the event.
The Carinya Education Park, operated by the Derwent Valley Council at the former Derwent Valley Business Enterprise Centre, was a semi-finalist in the community of the year category of the Community Achievement Awards following a nomination submitted by the council's regional development officer. A certificate for this achievement was accepted by Councillor Judy Bromfield, general manager Stephen Mackey, youth participation officer Matthew Hill and regional development officer Jess Dallas.
The certificates can be seen on the front counter of the Derwent Valley Council Chambers in New Norfolk.
