“Every day there are people in our community who go above and beyond to support others, volunteer their time or achieve excellence in their field,” Cr Talty said.
“This could be an outstanding leader, someone who is excelling in the arts or sport, or a volunteer supporting those in need or working to protect our wildlife or environment.
“The Australia Day Awards are a chance to recognise those outstanding contributions and thank the people who make our community such a vibrant and connected place to live, work and visit.”
Nominations are sought for individuals, groups or organisations that have made a significant contribution to the community during the past year or over a sustained period.
