Honour roll – our past Australia Day winners

13 Jan, 2020

Each year we celebrate the achievement and contribution of our local community members through the Australia Day awards.

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 called for in September/October each year and close December 2, 2019.

The Australia Day organising committee, led by a councillor, chooses the award winners.

Below is the honour board.
