The Wattle Range Council Australia Day Awards are now open, with a new and improved format. Council encourages its residents to think about our ‘Local Legends’ and pay them the ultimate compliment by nominating them for an award.

This years’ awards include additional categories for youth recognition, along with the usual Citizens of the Year and Event of the Year accolades.

The nomination process has also been simplified with just 3 easy questions. Award winners will be announced at the official Australia Day breakfast events to be held across the Wattle Range region on January 26th, providing the award recipients an opportunity to be recognised in front of their own community.

“The awards allow us to show appreciation and gratitude for those who volunteer their time and energy across a broad range of activities,” says Mayor Des Noll.

“Now is a time to pay it forward so they know their efforts have not gone unnoticed. Nominating is easy and takes a short amount of time.”

Nominations for the 2023 Australia Day Awards close at 5pm on Tuesday, 3rd January 2023.  Forms can be completed online or in hard copy which are available at any of Council’s offices or from the website at www.wattlerange.sa.gov.au/australia-day-awards
