South Burnett Regional Council has received a “High Commendation” at the National Trust of Australia (Queensland) 2014 Heritage Awards which were held at Old Government House in Brisbane on August 27.
Council was recognised for the volunteer project “Every Man Remembered – South Burnett Heroes”.
Volunteers Robyn Peterson and Daun Clapperton, who worked tirelessly on the project, attended the award ceremony and accepted the certificates.
They thanked the other Information Centre volunteers for their assistance with the project.
“These ladies deserve this recognition. Their work has been of the highest quality and such a worthy project,” Mayor Wayne Kratzmann said.
The awards recognise achievements in identifying, conserving and promoting our cultural history.
“Every Man Remembered – South Burnett Heroes” documented all the names and related service history that are recorded on war monuments in the South Burnett and Cherbourg areas.
The database will be placed on the South Burnett Regional Council website in April 2015.
