Nominations are now open for the 2024 Hepburn Shire Council Community Awards.
Mayor, Cr Brian Hood, said that each year Council’s Community Awards recognise local citizens and groups who make a significant contribution to our community.
“Community Awards are a great way to recognise those in our community who bring about positive change and make valuable contributions to the wellbeing of the broader community. Anyone can nominate a citizen or community group for an award,” said Cr Brian Hood.
We are seeking nominations in the following categories:
Last year’s winners were John Drife (Citizen of the Year), Atticus Punt-Trethewey (Young Citizen of the Year) and The Great Dividing Trail Association Reconciliation Walks (Event of the Year).
Council announces the awards during a Civic Event on 25 January each year. Nominations will close at 5pm on 20 October 2023.
