Nominations for the Mansfield Shire Citizen, Senior Citizen, Young Citizen of the Year and Community Event of the Year Awards are now open and will be accepted until 5.00pm on Monday, 11 December 2017.

Each year the nomination process highlights the admirable work done by so many local citizens and give us the opportunity to celebrate kind and useful deeds, to recognise community service, high achievement or the valuable local contribution by a group or individual.

If you know of someone that has done a lot for the community, often with little recognition, this is your chance to put their name forward for consideration and acknowledgement.

Award winners will be announced in each category at an afternoon tea prior to formal acknowledgement being given as part of the community Australia Day celebrations on Friday 26 January, 2018.

Nominations close on Monday 11 December, 2017. For further information please call Lisa Fricke, Australia Day Coordinator on 5775 8555. The 2018 Australia Day Awards Nomination Form (which includes eligibility criteria) is available for download or can be collected from Council’s customer service counter, Highett Street, Mansfield.
