Do you know someone who has made a difference in the community?

Northern Beaches Council has extended the closing date for nominations for the Northern Beaches 2018 Australia Day awards.

Northern Beaches Mayor Michael Regan said it’s a wonderful opportunity for the community to help provide formal recognition to those who make an outstanding contribution.

“We all know someone who gives their all and makes a difference. I encourage all residents to look around and nominate someone who deserves to be recognised.”

This year, a Senior Citizen of the Year Award is being added to other categories recognising Citizen of the Year, Young Citizen of the Year, Community Event of the Year and Sportsperson of the Year.

There will also be an increase in the Outstanding Community Service Awards, from 10 to 15 across the Council area.

Nominations close COB, Monday 4 December.
