The City of Mount Gambier is pleased to announce the 2024 Citizen of the Year recipients. Citizen of the Year will be awarded to Richard Harry, Senior Citizen of the Year will be presented to Kevin Douglas, Young Citizen of the Year will be awarded to Luke Thomson, the Community Event of the Year will be presented to the Mount Gambier Community Christmas Lunch and the Active Citizenship Award will be given to Julian Mattay. Awardees will be formally acknowledged at the Australia Day Breakfast and Awards event at the Cave Garden/Thugi on Friday 26 January 2024.
The annual awards recognise individuals and community groups that have made selfless contributions to the community during the past year, and in some cases, over many years.
“This year’s award recipients are some of the unsung heroes within our community who volunteer their time to make Mount Gambier a better place. I thank them for their dedication and assistance to improve the lives of others,” City of Mount Gambier Mayor Lynette Martin OAM said.
