Nominations are open for the 2023 City of Casey Community Awards, celebrating individuals and groups who make a positive difference within the community.
The City of Casey has been celebrating community contributors for over two decades through the awards program, and during that time has recognised many outstanding individuals and groups in fields like sport, arts, multiculturalism, humanities and community service.
New awards categories, such as the inclusion of the annual Environment and Sustainability Champion(s) and the Lindsey King awards as well as the introduction of the new Casey Woman of the Year award category, will make the 2023 edition bigger and better than ever, City of Casey Chair of Administrators Noelene Duff PSM said.
“These awards are focused on offering more opportunities to acknowledge and inclusively celebrate all our community members,” Ms Duff said.
“Through these awards we recognise and celebrate the remarkable individuals and groups whose contributions have improved the quality of life in the City of Casey.
“These people and groups consistently go above and beyond in their contribution to the Casey community as volunteers, professionals or community members.”
Outstanding contribution and community service may include, but are not limited to, charitable and voluntary services, education, the environment, sport, multiculturalism, arts, or fund-raising, Ms Duff said.
“There are categories that include young people, seniors, and underrepresented groups such as people with disabilities, and our LGBTIQA+ communities.”
Nominations for the 2023 Casey Community Awards are now open until Monday 24 October, with all finalists invited to attend the awards ceremony on 25 January 2023.
