Nominations open for Australia Day awards

Last year's winners

It’s time to cast the spotlight on individuals and groups who are making the Central Coast a better place to live by nominating them in the Central Coast Council Australia Day Awards 2025.

Council’s Director of Community and Recreation Services Melanie Smith said the annual awards highlighted the local achievements of the best and brightest from across the region.

“They are the people and groups making positive contributions to our local community,” she said.

There are five categories for the awards including Volunteer, Young Person, Senior Citizen, Community Groups, and Community Life.

Nominations for the five award categories opened on August 26 and close on September 27, 2024.

All winners, including the overall winner who will be named Citizen of the Year, will be announced at an awards ceremony in January 2025.

Council Administrator Rik Hart said the awards often highlighted achievements by unsung heroes across the region while encouraging excellence and community spirit.

“The Central Coast Council Australia Day Awards are an important touchstone for our growing community, showcasing and celebrating individuals and organisations who enrich our region,” he said.

“I am calling on residents and businesses to explore the five award categories and nominate a local Coastie or local group making our Central Coast community an even better place to live.”
