The winners of the 2023 Toowoomba Region Waste Management Facilities Garden Competition have been announced with some outstanding entries in this year's awards.
Toowoomba Regional Council (TRC) Water and Waste Portfolio Lead Cr Nancy Sommerfield said the competition awards were held recently to coincide with Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers and springtime.
"I was very impressed with the myriad of displays that our staff and social enterprise entities Ability Enterprise and Reviva who partner with TRC at the Waste Management facilities came up with this year.
"It's lots of fun for these groups to get involved and Cr Rebecca and I were particularly impressed that the displays feature many items that are repurposed from things that are otherwise discarded at TRC's Waste Management facilities," Cr Sommerfield said.
"The competition is now in its 9th year and a great way for the three different groups at the Waste Management facilities to get involved in the Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers vibe.
"This competition has been running since 2016 and I'm delighted the staff work so hard on their displays to improve the amenity of their workspace for customers as we approach the warmer months," Cr Sommerfield said.
