- Shape How We Honour Community Achievements
We are reviewing our community awards program to understand how we can best recognise outstanding community achievements. Have your say by 21 June 2023.
This review will help us ensure that our community awards program is valued by participants and the broader community.
The contributions everyday people have made in Knox makes our community great.
Recognition of outstanding citizens is a way for our community to value and appreciate those that make a positive difference in Knox.
It also honours the important volunteer work they do in all corners of our community, in areas such as environment preservation, supporting those in need and helping important causes. Since 1994, we have been recognizing community achievements with the Knox Australia Day Awards.
This is your chance to share your thoughts on Council’s role in recognising community achievements, and how we can give amazing people the recognition they deserve.
Share your feedback by Wednesday 21 June 2023, on our Have your say website or attend the drop-in session.
