This year’s City of Bunbury’s Heritage Awards will celebrate Bunbury’s heritage and the people who work so hard to conserve it.

Nominations for the biennial awards are now open and people are encouraged to nominate recent initiatives, projects or individuals that champion the city’s heritage.

The two categories are Excellence in Heritage Building Design and Conservation Work and the Outstanding Heritage Promotion award. The aim of the awards is to raise awareness of the city’s heritage and showcase the local heritage success stories.

Bunbury Mayor Gary Brennan urged people to nominate before the deadline.
