Australia Day Awards
On Australia Day, local councils across Tasmania recognise the exceptional contribution of their community members with the presentation of Australia Day.
Awards - the highest honour a council can bestow.
Awards are typically presented in the following categories:
- Citizen of the Year
- Young Citizen of the Year
- Community Event of the Year
The award ceremonies range from formal civic receptions to community BBQ breakfasts, but all ceremonies recognise and pay tribute to the work of special individuals in their local communities.
Do you know someone who deserves an award? If so, contact your local council for a nomination form.
2013 Award Recipients (recipients for 2014 will be posted following the 26 January)
