The 2007 Melaleuca Awards winners were announced at Parliament House on 19 June. There were four category winners, four recipients of environment grants and for the first time this year, the Chairman’s Award.

The category winners each received a Melaleuca Award, designed and produced by local artist Robert Birch, a certificate of Environmental Excellence and a Level One Water Audit from Power and Water. The Chairman’s Award winner has been granted $1,000 to donate to the environmental organisation of their choice.

Congratulations to all our winners and to everyone who entered – it’s great to see there are people out there trying to reduce their impact on the environment.
