January 15, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

South Burnett Regional Council’s annual Australia Day Awards ceremony will be held this year in Blackbutt.<\/p>\n

The awards ceremony, at Blackbutt Memorial Hall, will be held on Saturday, January 25, from 3:00pm to 5:00pm, with all nominees and South Burnett residents invited to attend.<\/p>\n

Like previous years, the ceremony is being held before Australia Day so that all nominees and award winners will be able to take part – and be acknowledged – at their own towns’ Australia Day events on January 26.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The awards will be compered by former Nanango councillor Rod Morgan and an afternoon tea will be provided afterwards.<\/p>\n

Mayor Kathy Duff congratulated all the nominees, acknowledging their commitment to the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach nominee for an Australia Day Award has showcased outstanding community involvement and the resilience that defines our rural community,” Mayor Duff said.<\/p>\n

“These awards offer the chance to acknowledge and celebrate outstanding individuals and groups dedicated to making a lasting difference in our region.”<\/p>\n

South Burnett Regional Council will be holding a Citizenship Ceremony on Australia Day at the Kingaroy Scout Den as part of Kingaroy’s Australia Day event.<\/strong><\/p>\n
