These additional categories will be for the 2022 year only.
Nominating is a simple process, with forms available on Council’s website, from Council’s Customer Service counter or by contacting Council on 5832 9700.
“If you know someone who is willing to donate their time for the benefit of others, don’t miss this chance to recognise their efforts,” Mayor, Cr Kim O’Keeffe said.
Nominations can be made under six categories including:
Nominations for the awards close Friday 25 February 2022.
An awards presentation will be held during National Volunteer Week in May.
