Nominations are now open in four categories: Citizen of the Year; Young Citizen of the Year; Volunteer of the Year; and Community Organisation of the Year.
Mayor Khal Asfour says the awards are tangible evidence of the passion and dedication of the community.
“Each award shines a spotlight on someone, or organisation, who may have never asked for, or been given, praise for the work they do, but who are most deserving of it,” he said.
“Please take the time to nominate a person, or group, who has made an impact in our community and, together, we can make sure they don’t go unrecognised.”
Recreation Sports and Aquatics Club (RSAC) President, Bob Beer, said being the recipient of the Organisation of the Year award in 2019 meant a lot to all members.
RSAC has run sports, performance and social programs for residents with disability, their carers and family, for more than 30 years.
“We were delighted to be recognised for the services we provide the community, particularly people with disability,” Mr Beer said.
“Everyone was very happy and I think it made our members feel appreciated and motivated.”
Nomination forms will be available soon at cb.city/australiadayawards; Bankstown and Campsie Customer Service Centres; and the council’s Library and Knowledge Centres.
Nominations close December 2.
