Roll up to the annual Mitchell Shire Community Awards ceremony this Australia Day, Sunday, January 26, for a fun, family day out with market stalls, free activities, and live music.
Once again, the Rotary Club of Southern Mitchell (RCSM) will be organising the entertainment, while the Mitchell Shire Council (MSC) will be honouring resolute volunteers across seven categories for behind-the-scenes work in the community over the past year.
The much-anticipated 2025 categories include Citizen of the Year, Young Citizen of the Year, Community Event of the Year, Community Group of the Year, Access and Inclusion, Sports Person of the Year, and Arts Person of the Year.
The MSC Community Awards ceremony will commence at 11am and will be followed by a public Citizenship Ceremony at the Island Reserve, High Street, Broadford.
Mitchell Shire Mayor Councillor John Dougall stated that the awards offered a chance to celebrate the often-overlooked individuals who worked tirelessly to make the region a better place for all.
“This event also provides an opportunity to welcome new residents who will make Mitchell Shire their home,” he said.
“I am excited for the day and look forward to seeing everyone there.”
Towns across Mitchell Shire will also be holding their own events. For more information, visit www.mitchellshire.vic.gov.au/discovermitchell/awards-ceremonies-and-events/events.
