With Australia Day just around the corner, Moorabool Council is busy getting the festivities ready.
Everyone is invited to the council’s official Australia Day celebrations on Sunday, January 26 at the Ballan Mechanics Institute, 143 Inglis Street, Ballan.
Festivities will include musical entertainment, a town crier, Australia Day awards presentation and an Australian citizenship ceremony.
The Australia Day awards celebrate the achievements and contributions of individuals and community groups in the shire.
The prestigious awards are one of the highest honours a council can bestow to publicly acknowledge local heroes, whose dedication and contributions may otherwise go unnoticed.
Awards will be given for Citizen of the Year, Young Citizen of the Year, and Community Event of the Year.
For those who can’t make it, the event will also be live-streamed on Facebook.
