Gosford City Council award and be seen as a leader of best practise and technology, but the credit goes to the staff,” he proclaims. “The staff that went through the initial innovation process, the staff that went through the design and grant application process, and the staff that went through the management of the project. They all duly received the recognition they deserved.” “People need to know that the staff of this organisation and the staff across New South Wales’ local government really had the community’s best interests at heart, and were prepared to look at things in an innovative way to deliver the best social, economic, environmental, and cultural outcomes for the community,” he continues. “To receive two Green Globes is simply fantastic, and it recognises the fact that local government can be leaders in best practise.” In the coming years, Paul aims to build off of the success Gosford City Council has achieved with its stormwater harvesting and reuse project, and hopes that victory will give staff members the confidence to move forward with future applications. “This project has shown everybody that we’re able to deliver best practise, that we’re able to deliver some innovative projects that provide major benefits for our community, and that we’re able to be recognised for our efforts,” he says. “We’re in the process of redeveloping and rejuvenating Gosford. We’re showing that this is a real place of activity on the Central Coast, and it’s about time that people realise there’s real opportunity here for business and residential development,” he concludes. “We’re looking forward to experiencing increased growth and increased development that enables us to advance these systems even further and look at other ways to expand these outcomes for the benefit of the entire region.”
