Nominations for Wagga’s 2019 Australia Day Awards are now open across four categories: Citizen of the Year, Young Citizen of the Year (27 and younger), Walk of Honour Award and the Ted Ryder Sports Memorial Award for contribution to administration in sport.
The awards were officially opened at a mayoral reception featuring past recipients at the Council Meeting Room on September 13.
“The annual Australia Day Awards recognise the outstanding contributions made by community members to our city,” Wagga mayor Greg Conkey said.
“Whether they’re a tireless community advocate or long-serving volunteer, they all deserve to be recognised.
“Community groups and individuals are encouraged to step up and nominate our everyday champions who have given selflessly to the community for many years.”
The winners will be announced at Wagga’s Australia Day events next year at the Victory Memorial Gardens.
