The City of Perth has won a coveted Western Australian sustainability award for its continuous efforts to increase awareness about maintaining the city's heritage buildings.
Lord mayor Lisa Scaffidi said the award acknowledges the council's efforts to help to preserve the city's history.
"Heritage and culture help to define a city and the council places a very high priority on ensuring they can be sustained and respected as the city grows and develops," Ms Scaffidi said.
