Do you know someone doing incredible things within the Melton community?
There’s just over a month left to nominate residents for Melton council’s Community Achievement Awards.
Council is requesting help to find the best of the bunch – suitable nominations are residents who make valuable contributions to the local community or who dedicate their time to making life better for others.
Melton Mayor Lara Carli said whether it’s someone who encourages community participation, breaks down barriers or readily helps others, “nominating them is a really special way to say thank you”.
“It could be a volunteer at your local club, or someone who goes above and beyond in their
daily work,” she said.
“Over the years, these awards have celebrated teachers, community leaders, sportspeople,
and more.”
You can nominate anyone who lives in the City of Melton across these five categories:
• Citizen of the Year – for recognition of ongoing community leadership and involvement.
• Young Citizen of the Year – for community leadership under 25 years old.
• Intercultural Engagement Leader of the Year – for leadership that celebrates Melton’s diverse community.
• Access and Inclusion Leader of the Year – for commitment to improving the life of people with a disability.
• Gender Equity Leader of the Year – for community leadership, promotion of gender equality and commitment to advancing the status of women.
Nominations open Monday, May 15 and close Friday, July 7.
Winners will be announced at a gala event in November.
