Shoalhaven City 2011 Australia Day Awards
05 Nov 2010
Shoalhaven City Council is calling for nominations for the 2011 Australia Day Awards.
Council is looking for nominations from citizens and community associations for outstanding members of our community.
Council will present the 2011 Australia Day Awards in the categories of Citizen of the Year, Young Citizen of the Year, Senior Sports person and Junior Sports person.
Shoalhaven City Mayor Councillor Paul Green said the annual awards were a way of recognising the contribution and achievements of the Shoalhaven’s leading citizens and sportspeople.
“Council continually receives a number of nominations for the Australia Day Awards that show how the true spirit of generosity, selflessness and courage are alive in our communities, towns and villages,” Clr Green said. “Each year Council recognises those people who give of themselves selflessly to the community, who work hard and don’t think that this is work is something they have to do.
They simply take part because they love our communities and the city.
“I encourage all citizens and community groups and organisations to continue this selfless work and nominate those special people in the community.”
Each year Council conducts a ceremony publicly recognising significant achievements in the region and the Shoalhaven Australia Day Awards Selection Panel already has been appointed.
The Awards are divided into four categories:
Citizen Award – for a person over 25 years;
Young Citizen Award – person 25 years or less
Senior Sports Award – person over 18 years
Junior Sports Award – person 18 years or less
Nomination forms are available at Shoalhaven City Council administrative offices and libraries in Nowra and Ulladulla, and at Shoalhaven Tourist Centres.
Nomination forms are available for completion on Council’s internet site http://shoalhaven.nsw.gov.au.au/Community/awards. Internet access is available at the Nowra and Ulladulla Libraries.
