Toowoomba Regional Council is seeking nominations for its 2015 Australia Day awards.<\/p>\n

Organising Committee chairperson Cr Anne Glasheen said the clock was ticking.<\/p>\n

“The deadline to nominate someone for an Australia Day Award is October 31 \u2013 so now’s the time to act,” she said. <\/p>\n

“That may seem like plenty of time … but trust me, the time between now and then will just fly by.”<\/p>\n

Cr Glasheen said Australia Day was an opportunity to recognise “neighbourhood heroes” who have worked tirelessly for the betterment of their community.<\/p>\n

“These people serve as an inspiration to others and we are eager to see them acknowledged for their efforts,” Cr Glasheen said.<\/p>\n

“If you know somebody who has stepped up in sporting endeavours, community work, artistic or cultural activities … then make sure you nominate them for an Australia Day award.”<\/p>\n

Council is currently calling for nominations across a range of categories:<\/strong><\/p>\n
