Know a local hero who has stood out in your community over the last year? Make their day by getting in early and nominating them for a 2023 Central Highlands Australia Day Award.

Submissions are now open until 5.00 pm 30 November 2022. 

Mayor Kerry Hayes acknowledged how these awards are our chance to formally recognise, celebrate, and reward the unsung heroes who have championed their community in good times and bad. 

‘Australia Day Awards are always about thanking those people who make our communities a better place – by the work they do, the encouragement they offer or simply the passion they show,’ Mayor Hayes said.

‘I am looking forward to recognising those who have gone above and beyond for our community over this time, and encourage everyone to nominate someone you would like to thank for making a significant contribution to the Central Highlands.’

2023 Central Highlands Australia Day Award categories are:

Young Citizen of the Year Community Event of the Year Senior Sportsperson/ Administrator of the Year Junior Sportsperson of the Year
