The 2010 Local Government Cultural Awards were hosted by the Local Government and Shires Associations of NSW at Parliament House, Sydney. These prestigious awards recognise the outstanding work undertaken in the areas of cultural policy, planning and programs by NSW councils.
Magnetic Places is a pilot initiative by the Neighbourhood Renewal Program and is recognised as a leader in collaborative placemaking.

· One Move One Voice (St Marys)
· Parkour at our Place (Kingswood Park, Kingswood and Werrington)
· Pathway of Friendship (Oxley Park and Erskine Park)
