Phil Widdison received the award on behalf of Carter Holt Harvey.
A Branch Clean Air Achievement Award was presented Adelaide Brighton Limited, Adelaide. The award recognised the contribution to improving the understanding of the health effects of air pollution on the community through the development of a model of the company's operations and emissions to assess their implications for community exposure to emissions. The model has enabled the company to predict the changes in emissions from the use of different fuels. Joseph Mazzone received the Award on behalf of Adelaide Brighton Limited.
