Shine a spotlight on a local hero
Published 01 September 2023
Pay tribute to outstanding people in Moreton Bay who have improved the lives of others and contributed to our diverse, friendly, and resilient communities, by nominating them for City of Moreton Bay’s 2024 Australia Day Awards.
Mayor Peter Flannery said the awards program offers an exciting opportunity to recognise the incredible work happening in our local communities.
“The annual awards are one of my favourite initiatives. It gives us a chance to celebrate the unsung community heroes whose contributions have made Moreton Bay a better place to live, work and visit,” Mayor Flannery said.
“Nominations can be made in two award categories - Citizen of the Year and Mayor’s Community Spirit Award.
“The main award recognises remarkable citizens, while the spirit award is open to people who live in, or outside Moreton Bay, and may not necessarily be an Australian citizen.
“There are many people who travel from outside the region to work or volunteer here who make significant contributions. This is a wonderful way to recognise them for their valuable work.
“Do you know a local legend who has stepped up and achieved something special this year or served the local community over many years?
“We need your help recognising people who have given selflessly to our community and give them the acknowledgment and praise they deserve through these awards.
“Nomination is easy, and anyone can do it, so if you know someone who makes a difference to life in Moreton Bay, don't miss the opportunity to nominate them for an award.”
Nominations open today and close 30 October 2023.
