City of Palmerston recognises the contributions members of our community make towards a brighter and better future, keeping our vision 'A Place for People', alive.

We acknowledge and recognise the selfless efforts of individuals and groups within our community, who embrace this vision through the Palmerston Australia Day Awards each year.

Now is the time to put forward nominations for these prestigious awards, and to ensure recognition is given to those who deserve it. 

“With our vision for Palmerston being ‘A Place for People’, the Australia Day Awards are the ideal opportunity to acknowledge and recognise the selfless efforts of individuals and groups who actively embrace this vision, and make valuable contributions to our community,” said City of Palmerston Mayor Athina Pascoe-Bell.

“If you know of an individual or group that has made a positive impact in Palmerston, please nominate them for these prestigious awards.

A few minutes of your time and a nomination is all it takes to help recognise someone’s great work in our community,” she said.

Categories for the 2023 Awards are as follows:

• Citizen of the Year
