Mayor Tracey Roberts said the annual award recognises organisations and individuals who have made a significant contribution to the City’s community.
"The award thanks the people and community groups that make our City such a terrific place to live," Mayor Roberts said.
The three award categories are:
- Charles Searson Australia Day Youth Award: for an individual under 25 years who has made an outstanding contribution to the local community
- Australia Day Award: for an individual over 25 years who has made an outstanding contribution to the local community
- Australia Day Community Group or Event award: for an outstanding local community group or event.
Recipients must be residents of the City of Wanneroo, or have coordinated a community event within the City, or be members of a community group whose principal activities are conducted within the City of Wanneroo.
Nominees will be assessed by a judging panel based on their commitment to enhancing the local community, leadership qualities and local community presence.
Anyone can submit a nomination form on the City’s website by clicking below, or in person at 23 Dundebar Road, Wanneroo.
