Westfield Local Heroes is a recognition and awards program that shines the spotlight on individuals in Australia and New Zealand who make a positive impact to their local community or environment. 

Community members nominate their Westfield Local Hero by filling in an online nomination form.  In the form, nominators are asked questions about their nominee and how their work benefits the community or environment.

Nominations are assessed by a selection panel against a set criteria to create a shortlist of three finalists per Westfield Centre.

This equates to 126 finalists across our 42 Westfield Centres in Australia and New Zealand. The successful Westfield Local Hero with the highest number of community votes for each Westfield centre will be announced and awarded a $20,000 grant for the organisation they represent.

Finalists receive a $5,000 grant for their organisation.

Who can be nominated?

Selection panels are looking for individuals who are positive role models who are respected and trusted in the community. Use your own words to describe your nominee so we get to know them through your eyes. Their work must positively impact the community or environment of a Westfield centre. They must represent an organisation or group, and the grant must be spent in a way that benefits the local community or environment of a Westfield centre.
