Do you know someone who deserves to be recognised for their contributions to Whitttlsea?

Nominations are open for the Whittlesea council’s community awards.

The awards celebrate the voluntary and above-and-beyond contributions of people who live, work, volunteer or study in the Whittlesea municipality.

Administrator Christian Zahra said the awards are a great way to acknowledge and celebrate outstanding contributions made by members of our community.

“If you know someone in the community deserving of recognition for the work they do in helping others or the environment, we encourage you to submit a nomination,” said Christian.

There are five categories for the awards, citizen of the year, young citizen of the year, senior citizen of the year, access and inclusion citizen of the year and sustainable environment citizen or group of the year.

Nominations close February 18 and the awards will be presented at the council’s community festival in March.
