Still time to nominate for Australia Day Awards

There is still time to nominate for the next annual Australia Day Awards, to be presented on 26 January 2004.

By Wellington Shire Council - 26th November 2003 - Back to News

Under the program, which is being coordinated locally by Wellington Shire Council and the National Australia Day Council, there are three awards up for grabs -

• Citizen of the Year
• Junior Citizen of the Year
• Community Event of the Year

In addition Wellington Shire Council will be presenting an award for Community Group of the Year – recognising the group that has made the most significant contribution to the Shire during 2003.

The closing date for entries is Friday 5 December. Nomination forms are available from all the Shire’s libraries and from the Sale, Maffra and Yarram service centres. Alternatively a form can be downloaded from the Council’s web site www.wellington.vic.gov.au

For more information, or to have a nomination form posted to you, call Ronan Carroll on 5142 3458.

Said Wellington’s Mayor John Jago: "There are many truly outstanding people and groups within Wellington that have made an invaluable contribution to the Shire community in all sorts of different ways over the past year. This awards program is a great opportunity for this community to nominate those they consider most deserving of recognition so that we can publicly thank and reward them."
