Wyndham City is excited to announce Anastasia Kusmawan as the One Wyndham December recipient.

Each month Council selects a Wyndham resident to be awarded the ‘young person of the month’.

Winners are awarded a $200 gift voucher of their choice and other prizes.

A leader in her school community, Anastasia commits her time to both sporting and academic pursuits and has achieved academic excellence.

Wyndham City Mayor, Cr Adele Hegedich, said the One Wyndham award enables young people to be inspired by the work of their peers.

“The time, dedication and passion of each young person has a positive impact not only on the people around them, but on Wyndham as a whole,” Cr Hegedich said.
