Recognise the unsung heroes.

Community Awards formerly known as Citizen of the year awards close on March 24 so not long now!!!

Get nominating !

Our annual awards (previously called Citizen of the Year Awards) are an opportunity to recognise the outstanding contributions of volunteers who demonstrate exceptional community spirit and a willingness to help others.
Council is encouraging all Shire residents to nominate an inspiring individual or community group for one of the four Award categories:

Volunteer of the Year
Senior Volunteer of the Year
Young Volunteer of the Year
Community Group or Initiative of the Year
Community groups can be nominated for their valued contribution or for a special project or initiative they have delivered. This may include a group that was formed specifically to deliver a project, or campaign

Tell us who inspires you, and how they make our Shire a better place.

Entries will be judged from 2 April, with winners of the Awards announced and presented at a volunteer appreciation event during National Volunteer Week (20-26 May 2024).

How do I nominate?
You can nominate an individual or group by filling in a nomination form below. You’ll need some contact details to complete your nomination, so make sure you have these ready. The form asks for contact details for:

yourself (the person who is nominating)
the nominee/s (the person you are nominating)
a referee who’s familiar with the achievements of the nominee

Nominations close on Sunday 24 March 2024.
