Know a local legend? Here is how you can reward them!

Our community is made up for amazing people and chances are you know one of them from sports coaches to the CWA. So many people hold our community together. 

Now is the chance for you to give them the recognition they deserve! 

You can nominate them for an award.

The award categories are:

The Citizen of the Year Award recognises an individual who has achieved something extraordinary, is an inspirational role model to others or who has made a sustained outstanding contribution to the local community.
