Australia Day Awards

We ask community members to take a few moments to complete a nomination form to officially recognise and thank members of our community who put a lot of time and effort into making it a great place to live and visit.

Everyone is invited to the community breakfast at 8.00am run by Rotary and the official Awards Ceremony, held on Australia Day, 26 January.

Nomination forms will be available on this page, or from the Shire's front reception, in October or November.
