Proud to see Wandarra recognised as a nominee for the TCC Australia Day Award for Environmental Excellence & Sustainability.
Congratulations to Amelia Chaplin on a well-deserved win โ and to everyone working quietly to build a stronger, more sustainable Townsville. ๐ฑ
Being nominated for the Townsville City Council Australia Day Award for Environmental Excellence & Sustainability was a meaningful moment for the Wandarra team.
Our CEO Steve Tiley attended the awards and reflected on what the recognition represents for our work and the region:
โThis nomination reflects the collective effort behind what weโre building โ farmers, industry, researchers and community working together. At Wandarra, we focus on practical systems that restore land, strengthen local capability and create long-term value for people and place.โ
The nomination, submitted by a community peer, captured the intent behind our work:
โWandarra, led by Steve Tiley, is pioneering sustainable innovation through agriculture, circular manufacturing, and regenerative systems. From h**p crops and plastic-free packaging to low-carbon building materials, their mission is to nourish, house and rejuvenate communities while protecting the planet.โ
Guided by SMARTSโข-aligned thinking and BEyond Greenโข principles, our approach looks beyond compliance to deliver healthier materials, transparent supply chains and real environmental outcomes โ all grounded in regional collaboration.
Weโre proud to be part of a community that recognises quiet achievers and collaborative leadership, and we congratulate Amelia Chaplin on a well-deserved win.
