Nominate a local legend for 2021 Australia Day awards

Published on 31 August 2020

The 2021 Corangamite Shire Australia Day Awards are an opportunity for the community to say thank you to the individuals and groups who help forge a strong, connected community.

Nominations for the Corangamite Shire Australia Day Citizen of the Year, Young Citizen of the Year and Community Event of the Year open Tuesday 1 September.

The awards will be presented as part of the Shire’s Australia Day Celebrations on Tuesday 26 January 2021.

Mayor Neil Trotter encouraged Corangamite Shire residents to nominate people and events who deserved recognition for their contributions to the community.

“We’re very fortunate in Corangamite Shire to have a great number of selfless people who make valuable contributions, often over years or a lifetime.

“Their efforts can greatly improve the lives of their fellow residents and enrich the communities in which we live.

“These awards are an opportunity to celebrate the outstanding achievements of individuals and groups who would never blow their own trumpet, but who deserve our gratitude and respect,” Cr Trotter said.

Nominations close on Monday 2 November. Forms and guidelines are available here or from the Civic Centre.

Details of the 2021 Australia Day celebrations will be confirmed closer to the date, subject to coronavirus social distancing requirements at the time.
