Congratulations to Parkes, New South Wales! They were named the winner in the Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation category at the 2025 Tidy Town Awards for their incredible Water Storage Lagoon - "Parkes Big Battery"! And also earned a Highly Commended in the Heritage and Culture category

The Parkes Raw Water Storage Lagoon (RWSL) is a game-changing solution to water security challenges brought on by climate change. This 20ML storage lagoon is strategically positioned above the town’s Water Treatment Plant, using the natural topography to provide a reliable, on-demand water supply for the community, industry, and Council.
The Parkes Wiradjuri Language Group has done incredible work to revive and sustain the Wiradjuri language and culture in the community. By integrating language education into local schools and preschools, they’ve fostered cultural pride, inclusivity, and a deep sense of community connection.

Amazing work, Parkes! You’re leading the way in sustainable water management and climate resilience
