We are here to support your community
In recognition of the innovative spirit of Queensland local governments, in 2018 we launched the Butch Lenton Memorial Bush Council Award (in
honour of the late Mayor of Winton Shire Council Graeme
‘Butch’ Lenton). This award provides a bursary to a council or
individual who would like to undertake an activity that demonstrates
innovation. This award is presented at the LGAQ Annual Conference.
