Congratulations to Helen Bradley, Manager of Resource Recovery Planning at Inner West Council, for winning the Woman of Distinction Award (Metro) at the 2025 NSW Minister's Awards for Women in Local Government. This award recognises Helen's exceptional leadership and innovation in environmental sustainability; work that's making a real difference in our community. Helen has been instrumental in planning and implementing Inner West Council's Food Organics and Garden Organics [FOGO] service, transforming how households across our area reduce waste and contribute to a circular economy. Her expertise and dedication have set a benchmark for sustainability leadership in local government. The FOGO program diverts thousands of tonnes of organic waste from landfill, turning it into valuable compost that enriches soil and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Helen's work proves that environmental action starts locally. Her vision and commitment are helping the Inner West lead the way in sustainable waste management. Congratulations Helen on this well-deserved recognition. Your leadership is building a greener, more sustainable future for our community.
