ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The Agricultural Town of the Year Award, an initiative of the Department of Primary Industries and Regions (PIRSA) and delivered in partnership with InDaily, highlights the vital role that agriculture plays in the regional landscape – being the backbone of many regional communities.
The Agricultural Town of the Year Award recognises South Australian towns that excel in agricultural practices and are great places to live and work.
The program provides an avenue where communities can learn from one another which will play a role in building capacity and increasing growth in regional South Australia.
Penola – 2024 Winner
“The 2024 Ag Town of the Year Awards was truly a momentous occasion for Penola!
We are so proud of our Penola community, their pride in its agricultural heritage and what we produce for our local, state and national markets.
Being involved in this program has emphasised the importance of innovation and education, along with honouring the accomplishments of the community.
This program will have a lasting impact on the township, those who choose to call Penola home and the growing tourism industry it supports.”
