As previously reported in Coast Community News, Wyong’s Woman of the Year is Marney McQueen.
Minister for Central Coast and Member for Wyong David Harris said McQueen had been a beacon of hope and inspiration in Wyong, dedicating her time and efforts to various local initiatives.
Her work in promoting community organisations and engagement has made a significant impact on the lives of many locals.
Seven years ago she moved to Wyong with partner Frank Arangio and bought the Royal Hotel.
She established a new form of entertainment for the locals with the creation of Saturday Night Spectacular Cabaret nights.
McQueen has been a driving force in raising more than $250,000 for local charities and organisations, including Friends of Wyong River Rubbish Clean Up, Wires Group in Jilliby and Dooralong areas, and We Care Connect.
She has also hosted various local events, such as the Wyong Christmas Carols, Wyong Business Awards, and Royal wedding celebration at Love Lanes Festival.
McQueen is involved with children’s activities such as P&C at Jilliby Public School and has volunteered with school working bees.
“Marney embodies the spirit of our community,” Harris said.
“Her passion for helping others and her ability to bring people together is truly remarkable.
“She is a role model for us all.
“I congratulate her on these achievements, and I wish her the best in her new lead role the musical Titanique.”
She received her award at a ceremony held in Sydney on March 6.
