“The Australia Day Awards allow us to shine a light on the incredible individuals, volunteers, and groups who are the heart of our community, tirelessly giving of their time, energy, and talents to make our city what it is today."
He added "Australia Day is a time for us to come together and celebrate what makes our community special, and this awards ceremony is a key part of that tradition. I'm looking forward to recognising more outstanding community members next year.” "If you know someone who’s made a meaningful impact, don't let this opportunity pass by – nominate them and help us acknowledge their contributions.”
