Campbell at the 2018 Australia Day Awards
September 15, 2018
The South Burnett Regional Council is calling for nominations for the 2019 South Burnett Australia Day Awards.
“The awards provide the community with an opportunity to acknowledge and reward outstanding groups and individuals committed to improving the lifestyle experience in our region,” Deputy Mayor Kathy Duff said.
2019 Awards are open in the following categories:
- South Burnett Citizen of the Year
- South Burnett Young Citizen of the Year
- South Burnett Community Organisation of the Year
- South Burnett Lifetime Achievement Award
- South Burnett Volunteer of the Year
- South Burnett Junior Cultural Award
- South Burnett Senior Cultural Award
- Local Achiever Award (Town & Rural)
- South Burnett Junior Sportsperson
- South Burnett Senior Sportsperson
- South Burnett Sports Administrator/Coach/Official Award
The official awards ceremony will be held at the Blackbutt Memorial Hall on the eve of Australia Day, Friday January 25, 2019.
“There are many residents in our region who put in the hard yards for the benefit of our community without any expectation of thanks or praise,” Cr Duff said.
“Australia Day nominations are an opportunity for family, friends, colleagues or even neighbours to nominate a group or someone who they feel should be recognised for the exceptional contributions they’ve made.”
Further information about the 2019 award categories and how to nominate is available on the Council’s website.
The closing date for nominations is Friday, November 9.
