kimba crowned 2021
Agricultural town of the year

Primary Industries and Regional Development Minister Clare Scriven said the Kimba community has shown exceptional resilience and strength, and the celebration to mark their win was a true display of the area’s community spirit. Kimba received the Agricultural Town of the Year Award for its community spirit and the way the farming community works together for the betterment of the town with endeavours such as investing in regional agricultural programs and expanding the teaching of agriculture in schools to educate future generations.

“I am super proud of our amazing community and how innovation is embraced and explored. We are a true ‘can do’ town and we recognised with limited natural attractions we needed more. So, we built our own.

From our incredible silo art to the creative quarter of Workshop 26 to our triple-award-winning, free camp area. Visitors say they can feel the vibrancy and positivity of our community and I agree, it’s truly palpable.

We’re a community that’s taken charge of its own future and this award helps us recognise what we’ve done, but also spurs us to go even further and continue building a positive future that we can share with visitors every day.”
