 Rewarding Local Achievement


 Local Government Awards

Local government awards provide an important opportunity to acknowledge local achievers for their outstanding contribution.

For the 79 Councils in Victoria, they are also a major feature of their Australia Day celebrations.

Awards are presented by local government organisations to citizens and groups in recognition of outstanding achievement and contribution to the community. In most instances, municipalities will select their local Australia Day Citizen of the Year, Young Citizen of the Year and Community Event of the Year.

Winners receive a certificate on Australia Day and are chosen by community and Council representatives.

Nominations for Local Government Australia Day Awards are advertised through the media.

For further information about the awards contact your local Council.
