OUR MISSION: TO PROMOTE EXCELLENCE IN HISTORY, LANDSCAPE, ARCHITECTURE AND
PUBLIC ART | DECEMBER 2020
BEAUTIFUL AWARD WINNER 2020
HASTINGS supreme winner
Hasten to Hastings and its surroundings for a festive, cultural and visionary bonanza of events and activities.
Welcome to another wonderful Hawke’s Bay summer! We are coming to the end of an unusually difficult year but with good fortune and advice from our national health experts we can aim to enjoy all that us on offer in this beautiful part of the world.
In such a year as this it was marvellous that Hastings won the 2020 Keep New Zealand Beautiful Award for the Most Beautiful Large Town and became the Supreme Winner of the Most Beautiful Towns & Cities in New Zealand.
Landmarks Trust congratulates all who contributed to the honour: Hastings District Council, especially the Public Open Spaces team (with whom the Landmarks Trust work closely), businesses and the good citizens of our district who continue to make a difference. A brilliant achievement and outcome.
The Supreme Awards celebrate the environmental excellence of communities, businesses, schools and individuals in New Zealand as well as the beautiful landscapes, parks and reserves and, more importantly, the work that goes on behind the scenes by both the community and Council to maintain the status quo and to support, sustain and retain the honour.
The judges loved Hawke’s Bay Arts and Events Centre; including Functions on Hastings, the Cushing Theatre and the Opera House. They were truly wowed by the preservation of the history and culture, the integration of all of the spaces there for the community and visitors to enjoy. An environment in which we have the good fortune to reside.
Jeremy Dwyer, the Landmarks Trust founder of twenty years ago, would be delighted. His vision was always to create a place in which to live, work and enjoy. And we love to share it!
Therefore, “HASTEN TO HASTINGS” for the visionary bonanza of festive and cultural delights, events and activities (many of which Landmarks Trust have played a role) and are highlighted in this newsletter for your exploration.
