Nominations for the Lake Macquarie's Australia day awards are now open to recognise those who make a positive difference to the community.
Mayor of Lake Macquarie, Kay Fraser said many people who
enrich the community go unnoticed so it is an important event to acknowledge those
who make a difference.
"These special people, of which many in our city, inspire us through their achievements."
There are 4 categories open for the award with citizen and
young citizen of the year, along with volunteer as well as community group of
the year.
Last years award recipients included Southlake Marketplace who supplied 4000 meals in 12 months to people in need and Teza Sankoorikal who, at 16, led the success in the Cultural Exposure Bill being passed.
"It's important to give these people these people recognition through the Australia Day awards because they challenge us all to think about how we can make our own contribution to creating a better and more caring society," Cr Fraser said.
Nomination forms are available online for the next month at lakemac.com.au/auawards,
