Congratulations from Country Energy

As a long-time supporter of local councils, Country Energy is honoured to again support this awards initiative and congratulate councils on the role they play in fostering cultural life across the state.

We have strong synergies with councils and shires – we are all committed to supporting and accommodating the growing needs of our customers and stakeholders.

Country Energy offers energy products and services across six Australian states and territories, and our electricity network spans 95 per cent of NSW. As such we take our responsibility to provide opportunities for local communities, including promoting cultural life in the communities we serve, very seriously.

Examples of Country Energy’s support range from the popular $35,000 Country Energy Art Prize to sponsorship of local shows, field days and community events.

Such events and opportunities go hand-in-hand with our commitment to providing value for money products and services and a safe and reliable energy network.

Country Energy congratulates the LGSA and its members on their unwavering dedication to the ongoing development and sustainability of their local communities and looks forward to further developing our relationship with the LGSA.

    "Cities must trade in cultural cringe for a growing sense of confidence in our distinctiveness. They must try to be somewhere, not anywhere in the extended global sprawl of electronic suburbia. Cities must wilfully believe that the unique combination of events that may fuse here is just as compelling as those that may fuse somewhere else. Cities need to involve their people in making and remaking their own mythology, and create something that is truly unique." Marcus Westbury
