The City of Kwinana has celebrated picking up three awards last month, with Kwinana Recquatic recognised nationally as an employer of choice, the City’s promotion of healthy lifestyles praised nationally and the Wellard 7 Day Makeover celebrated with an inaugural award.

The Kwinana Recquatic won the National Employer of Choice at the AUSactive National Awards on Friday 15th September, while the City of Kwinana Healthy Lifestyle Program won the Healthy Council Award of Year and the Western Australian People’s Choice Medium Sized Business award.

The Kwinana Recquatic were also a National Finalist in the Leisure Centre of the Year Awards.

Kwinana Mayor Carol Adams said the Healthy Lifestyle Program aims to increase community-based opportunities for Kwinana residents to participate in physical activity by offering free group exercise programs, such as Outdoor Fitness for over 50s, Mums Who Move, yoga and Pilates.

Mayor Adams advised “it is great to see the City’s Healthy Lifestyle Program recognised, as the City works hard to improve the outcomes of health, wellbeing and social connection for its residents.

“This is also a great achievement for the Recquatic to be recognised for all its hard work in improving employee engagement and workplace culture, which has resulted in happy customers and improved outcomes in the community.”

Most recently, the City of Kwinana received the inaugural Outstanding Achievement Award for the Wellard Village 7 Day Makeover presented as part of the Minister for Local Government’s Place Innovation Awards.

Mayor Adams added “the Wellard 7 Day Makeover was a 12-month project with huge investment from the local Wellard community and local businesses to activate and transform The Strand.

“We are thrilled to have been recognised on both national and state stages in recent days.”
