CURRUMBIN has been named Australia's cleanest at the annual Keep Australia Beautiful awards announced today.

Keep Queensland Beautiful Rick Burnett it was recognition for the efforts of the local community and the Gold Coast City Council and would add to the beach's tourism appeal.

"We know we have great beaches, but this award reminds all of Australia, that we have the best," Burnett said.

"I would like to thank the local volunteers in the beach-care groups, and all those local residents who take pride in keeping this wonderful beach and marine environment so well maintained and litter-free.

"People all over will recognise the name Currumbin for its world-acclaimed wildlife and bird sanctuary, and now they can be reminded of its adjacent and beautiful beach."

Mr Burnett said it was fitting that Currumbin Beach was also in the Currumbin electorate, held by Queensland Tourism Minister, Jann Stuckey MP.

"The Minister has been a strong supporter of Queensland beaches being well-maintained and litter-free as prime natural resources and important tourism assets," he said.

Ms Stuckey said she was absolutely thrilled to see the hard work of the local community acknowledged and rewarded by this national title.

"Residents of Currumbin are well aware we have something pretty special here on the southern Gold Coast, and it is fantastic to see that Keep Australia Beautiful agrees," Ms Stuckey said.

"I congratulate everyone for their combined efforts that have resulted in Currumbin being declared Australia's Cleanest Beach 2013. We are a tight-knit and proud community.

"I extend an invitation to all Australians to visit our little slice of heaven, with our world-famous beaches just one of the numerous attractions we have on offer here. From the shores to the hidden treasures of our valleys - you certainly won't be disappointed.

A local ceremony and presentation will be held at Currumbin on Wednesday.
