“We appreciate the endless support and dedication of many exceptional individuals who go above and beyond and have succeeded in improving the lives of people in Campaspe,” Cr Weston said.
Nominations are open in two categories:

“Whether it be for charity work, dedication to a worthy cause or ongoing volunteer commitment to sport, youth development, seniors’ programs, the arts, disability, or community services generally, the key attributes nominees share are their unwavering desire to make Campaspe a better place and their selfless focus on others,” Cr Weston said.
Winners will be announced on Australia Day in each of the five geographic areas, with the overall shire winners also announced on the day.
