Categories are: Citizen of the Year, Young Citizen of the Year, Community Event of the Year and Active Citizenship award. We'd love you to nominate someone who makes a difference to our community. Nominations open 1 October and close 15 October.

Join us for our Community Forum in Lobethal!

Save the date for our community forum on Saturday, October 19, where we’ll discuss Council support for local programs, arts, culture, and inclusion. The event kicks off at 12:30 PM with refreshments, followed by an official start at 1:00 PM. After the formalities, explore the new Fabrik site, enjoy kids' crafts in the afternoon, and visit the mobile library. This is a great opportunity to share your feedback with Council staff and Elected Members.
