The Healthy Queensland Awards encourage communities, workplaces and schools to become healthier and are held in conjunction with Keep Australia Beautiful, Queensland.

The $10,000 and a framed certificate were presented this week during a ceremony in Brisbane officiated by Queensland Health Minister Geoff Wilson.
