Citizen of the Year Awards are held at Australia Day celebrations around the nation.
We host an event every year and a Citizen of the Year, Young Citizen of the Year and a community organisation are recognised.
Nominations for the awards are open year round.
The Australia Day organising committee, led by a councillor, chooses the award winners.
The council recently updated the Australia Day Citizen Awards Guidelines. Prior to submitting a nomination, please read and familiarise yourself with this document.
