It is a big thrill to announce that the Yarrabah Microgrid is a finalist in the National Planning Awards for Excellence in the Community Wellbeing and Diversity Category.

This award recognises:

- outstanding social sustainability outcomes, with a focus on planning for communities - in other words, planning for people.
- initiatives that support the health, wellbeing and diversity of the community.
- the role of planning in improving access to social infrastructure.
- great social planning that assists and supports community cohesion, safety, and supports the culture of diversity.

It will be awarded for work that demonstrates how a thorough understanding of the needs, cultural inclusiveness and aspirations of a community is integral to sound planning and desired social outcomes.

Thank you to the Planning Institute of Australia for running an awards program that celebrates the good that our profession contributes to our communities.
