Australia Day provides a wonderful opportunity to recognise and acknowledge members of our local communities who have made positive contributions and to honour those who have made personal achievements in a range of pursuits including sports, the arts, or study.
This is a chance to acknowledge those individuals who volunteer so much of their time to ensure much needed community services, sporting events and various other activities are conducted across our Shire.
Mayor of Lachlan Shire John Medcalf OAM said Australia Day is a time to say thank you to those who enrich our lives in our community and who have gone above and beyond.
“The Australia Day Awards allow us to recognise the contributions that many individuals make to their community each year and Council is proud to recognise individuals whose contributions and achievements illustrate the true meaning of what it is to be Australian,” said Mayor Medcalf.
Lachlan Shire Council in collaboration with the Australia Day Council of NSW invites you to nominate someone for the 2022 NSW Local Citizen of the Year Awards.
