The nomination deadline Central Coast Council’s 2023 Australia Day Awards has been extended by one week to October 30.
Council’s Director of Community and Recreation Services, Melanie Smith, said the recent inclement weather might have seen many community members too busy looking after every-day things, including supporting those in need, to lodge a nomination.
“In extending the nomination period from the October 23 to October 30 we are hoping to provide the community with sufficient opportunity to nominate someone they know,” she said.
“This might be individuals who are leaders in the community, or who work quietly behind the scenes, to make the Central Coast a great place to live.”
Nominations will now close at 5pm on Sunday, October 30.
The 2023 Award categories are: Community Group Award (for work in community services, well-being and community safety); Community Life Award (individual contribution through sport, arts, culture, or environment); Volunteer Award (significant long-term commitment to volunteer work within the community); Young Person Award (individuals aged 25 or under); Senior Citizen Award (individuals aged 60 or over); and Citizen of the Year, who will be chosen from the winners of each category.
