Moreton Bay City Council is calling for residents to shine a light on unsung heroes by nominating them for the 2025 Australia Day Awards.

Mayor Peter Flannery says the awards are the perfect chance to celebrate the people who make the City of Moreton Bay a better place to live, work, and visit.

“The annual awards are one of my favourite initiatives. They allow us to recognise the community-minded individuals who make a real difference to the lives of others and to the areas we proudly call home,” Mayor Flannery says.

"The Citizen of the Year Award recognises those who significantly contribute to City of Moreton Bay. Previous winners have founded charitable initiatives, volunteered for 30 years and given back to our communities in meaningful ways.

“The Community Spirit Award is open to people who are making a positive impact on our city. They may not necessarily be a citizen or resident, but their contributions play a key role in shaping our community's growth and future.

“Do you know someone making a real impact? It could be an amazing artist contributing to our cultural landscape, someone who dedicates their time to helping others or a volunteer at your sports club. You can honour these local heroes with the recognition they truly deserve by nominating them for an award.”

Nominations are now open and close on Thursday, October 31, 2024. Visit the website.
