The 2012 National Awards for Excellence were announced by Minister for Regional Australia, Regional Development and Local Government, the Hon. Simon Crean MP, at the Australian Local Government Association National General Assembly dinner at Parliament House on 19 June 2012.

- Golden Plains Shire Council, Victoria: Visit Golden Plains Tourism Smartphone/Tablet App and Website Digital Infrastructure Project (small council, under 15,000 rateable properties).
The National Awards for Local Government highlight the excellent and innovative work being undertaken by local governments in communities across Australia. Local governments work hard to improve business practices within councils and service delivery to communities.
The National Awards recognise ingenuity, resourcefulness, and self-reliance. They also identify and promote councils that are finding new ways of delivering services and developing local solutions to complex and challenging problems.
