Australia Day is an important day of the year to celebrate and show gratitude for this country and what it means to be Australian, while recognising the important contribution made to our society by community members through our Australia Day Community Awards.
The annual Fairfield City Community Awards pay tribute to all those who dedicate their time and effort into making Fairfield City a better community for all. Winners will be announced next week at our Australia Day awards ceremony. Follow Fairfield City Council’s Facebook page for updates.
Kumud Merani, former SBS Radio producer, actor and Premier’s Multicultural Media Award winner has been announced as Fairfield City’s Australia Day Ambassador for 2024. It is our pleasure to have Kumud help us celebrate our Australia Day community awards and residents receiving their citizenship. I look forward to welcoming her to our City.
