While most of the awards recognise strata management professionals, there is one award that acknowledges the achievements of our customers. Sponsored by the City of Sydney the Strata Community Environment & Engagement Award was shared by Windsor Plaza and The Horizon. The award recognises strata schemes that are working to reduce their impact on the environment by means of sustainability initiatives and projects and in utilising products and services that have positive environmental outcomes. 

Without further adieu the award winners are as follows ....
