Do you know an individual or group who has gone above and beyond for the Bayside community in this year of unprecedented challenges and deserves our recognition?
Many local heroes have stepped up to help others in our community in 2020. With the COVID-19 pandemic, bushfires and the resulting hardships and challenges, some members of our community have led the way.
You can help to recognise these contributions by nominating a Bayside hero for an Australia Day Award.
Nominations for the 2021 Bayside City Council Australia Day Awards are now open. Anyone can nominate – it’s online and easy.
