Lameroo’s resilience in the face of the ongoing drought has seen it recognised as part of the three finalists for the 2025 Ag Town of the Year.
The Mallee town joins Keith and Kimba in the final three, with the winner to be announced in early November after the judging panel comes to visit.
The winning Ag Town of the Year will receive a sign for the town entrance recognising its achievements, a community celebration event, a trophy, and extensive media exposure showcasing the town’s contribution to the state.
Regional Development Minister Claire Scriven says Lameroo has shown remarkable resilience in the midst of the drought.
“Despite the impacts of the ongoing drought on their communities, it’s inspiring to see first-time finalists Keith and Lameroo shortlisted, while the exciting community initiatives at Kimba continue to be noticed by the judges,” Scriven said.
“These awards are a powerful way to bring communities together, share experiences, and highlight the unity and strength of our regional communities.”
Lameroo will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of another local community in Mypolonga, which won the award back in 2022 in the midst of the River Murray flooding event.
