Mayor calls for nominations

Gosford Mayor Cr Jim Macfadyen is encouraging Peninsula residents to nominate a local community group, event, business or individual for the NSW-ACT Regional Achievement and Community Awards.

"These awards are about recognising dedicated individuals and groups committed to bettering our community," Cr Macfadyen said.

"That is, recognising our volunteers and community service employees, our local festival and event organisers and our leading businesses.

"I ask fellow community members to nominate our unsung heroes to ensure they get the recognition they deserve through this year's awards."

Nominations are being called for the Business Enterprise Award, Events and Tourism Award, Regional Service Award, Environment and Landcare Award, Crown Reserve Trust Award and Community of the Year Award.

Nominations close Friday, August 8.

The finalists and winners of the Regional Achievement and Community Awards will be announced at a presentation dinner in Coffs Harbour on Saturday, November 8.

Nomination forms and more information are available at all Commonwealth Bank branches, by visiting www.awardsaustralia.com or by phoning the local awards office on 1300 735 445.
