The 2023 Cassowary Coast Australia Day Awards are now open, giving an opportunity for locals to recognise other members of the community who go above and beyond to build a more vibrant region.

The Cassowary Coast Region Australia Day Award program is an exciting opportunity to celebrate the achievements of individuals, community groups and organisations making positive contributions to our community.

Cassowary Coast Regional Council Mayor Mark Nolan said each year it’s an honour to celebrate the unique stories of our local community members whose selflessness and commitment, lighten the load for others.

“The awards are a special way to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of community members who take pride in their individual involvements and are well-deserving in recognition.

“Members of the Cassowary Coast can be recognised across categories including Citizen of the Year, Community Event of the Year and Cultural Award, to name a few,” said Councillor Nolan.
