The two towns have been picked as they demonstrate sustainable and environmentally conscious behaviours across key areas, such as litter prevention & waste minimisation, community beautification, recycling projects and sustainable tourism.
Have you heard of the Beautiful Awards? they celebrate environmental excellence and recognise positive actions taken by communities, businesses, schools, individuals and councils, in local and urban areas to protect and enhance their local environments
Note: this poll runs externally from the Beautiful Awards and responses will not be included in the judging process.

He admits at first he was pretty sceptical of the relatively unheard of Foton brand and wasn’t sure what to expect. “I thought it would be small and not quite stack up to the competition – but I was wrong” Ido said.

“The Foton Tunland is the perfect ute for both work and play. It is a very versatile vehicle – it is a great workhorse with impressive power from the Cummins turbo diesel engine which enables top performance even when under a heavy payload."
"The Tunland is also built for recreation with loads of cabin space and a comfortable driving experience. All of this combined with the extremely affordable price tag makes for a fantastic package.”
Enterprise Motor Group Manukau are the only dealership in Auckland to stock the Foton Tunland. Come and see one today! 567 Great South Road Manukau.
