ABOUT THE AWARDS

Each year Parks & Leisure Australia acknowledges excellence in our industry through its prestigious Awards of Excellence. These annual awards recognise outstanding initiatives and innovative efforts of ‘the people behind the places’ which promote and enhance opportunities for the good use of leisure time for a number of social, environmental and economic benefits to the community.

The Frank Stewart Distinguished Service award is the longest standing award and introduced by the Australian Leisure Institute.
