City of Melville and Premier's Australia Day

The City of Melville is searching for persons, groups or events that have made a noteworthy contribution to the City of Melville during the current year, or have given outstanding service to the Melville community over a number of years.

Think about friends, family and residents in your neighbourhoods that deserve recognition. Acknowledge those amazing community members who contribute their passions, skills, time and energy by nominating them for a City of Melville and Premier's Australia Day Active Citizenship Awards.

The three award categories that include:

• Citizen of the Year;
• Young Citizen of the Year (25 years of age or under on 26 January 2014)
• Community group or event of the Year

The Australia Day Citizenship Ceremony and the announcement of the Awards winners, is held in Centennial Park, Bull Creek in conjunction with the Lions Club of Bull Creek Australia Day Breakfast. This event attracts over 1,000 people and provides the perfect setting to acknowledge our Australia Day Citizens and community group of the Year as well as new citizens taking their citizenship.

If your application is successful you will receive $100 to go towards a Charity or not-for-profit Community Group of your choice just for nominating! The winner of each category will receive $400 for the same purpose!

If you know someone who has what it takes, nominate them now by completing the applicaton form attached, or click here to complete the online form.
