It’s time to reflect on the year that was and highlight those who make our region great as Burdekin Shire Council has announced the commencement of nominations for the 2024 Australia Day Awards.
The awards symbolise acknowledgement and celebration of the extraordinary contributions and accomplishments of individuals and groups within the dynamic Burdekin community.
Award categories range from sporting, cultural and environmental achievements to stand-out community events, dedication to volunteering and the principal titles of Citizen of the Year and Young Citizen of the Year.
Burdekin Shire Council Mayor Lyn McLaughlin said the Australia Day Awards recognise members of the community who have made an outstanding contribution to the Burdekin and stands as a moment to pay tribute to their selfless endeavours.
“I encourage the community to actively participate by nominating individuals or groups whom you believe deserve recognition for their outstanding efforts,” Ms McLaughlin said.
“The Burdekin is fortunate to be home to many individuals and this is an opportunity to express our gratitude for their invaluable contributions that often go unnoticed.
“Nominations are open to the public and forms can be found on Council’s website.”
Nominations for Burdekin Shire Council’s 2024 Australia Day Awards are now open and will close on Wednesday, 6 December at 5:00pm.
