e-commerce, wholesaling, exporting, retailing,
trades and other professional services. The Tamar Valley Dairy Business

There are many people in our community who live their life with a disability. This Award acknowledges and salutes those people with a disability who successfully integrate into the community or overcome difficulty to become an inspiration to us all. These amazing and outstanding individuals may have achieved what most thought would be impossible, overcome the odds in recovery or rehabilitation or they may be wonderful community citizens and role models that make a difference in and for the community. They may be achieving, in sport, art, study, community service, education or be inspiring others. The MAIB Disability Achievement Award will recognise these amazing and inspirational individuals. |

The Nyrstar Environment and Sustainability Award acknowledges proven passion and dedication to improving the Tasmanian environment. It seeks to reward individuals or groups who work to overcome the challenges facing our natural world and to overcome the barriers to change that are usually encountered. Environmental improvements can come in many forms, for example, changing behaviours and patterns of consumption, restoring impacted areas, establishing sustainable business practices, and the protection of threatened species and habitat. Regardless of the focus, the result is a better environment for all to share and a brighter future for our children. Those entering this category will embrace the concept of 'think globally, act locally' and work to make positive change. |

provide us with food, drink and shelter. Primary

The Community of the Year Award provides projects,
groups, organisations, cities, towns or local
government initiatives with an opportunity to

and economic prosperity of their community.
It is important to recognise and encourage these
groups and organisations as their efforts help
to make our State a stronger and more vibrant
place to live and will develop and promote true
comradery and community spirit for future generations
to come. |
