"This year we wanted to focus on why the Central West is a great place to live - after all, it's home to 180,000 people and is made up of some terrific towns and villages and beautiful landscapes.
"We would like to extend our thanks to everyone who entered the competition - the judges certainly had a tough decision but we are thrilled to announce this year's prize winners."
