Call for Nominations: 2025 Tweed Shire Australia Day Awards

The Tweed Shire Council invites the community to recognise the exceptional contributions of local individuals and groups by nominating them for next year’s Tweed Shire Australia Day Awards. These annual awards celebrate the efforts of community members who give back, create positive change, and make Tweed a great place to live and love.

Mayor Chris Cherry highlighted the significance of these awards in acknowledging the dedication of community members. “Our community is brimming with people who generously give their time and talents to enhance the quality of life in Tweed,” Cr Cherry said. “The Australia Day Awards are our chance to publicly celebrate their remarkable achievements and the positive impact they have.”

The Australia Day Awards and Citizenship Ceremony will be held on Friday, 24 January 2025, providing local governments with the flexibility to schedule their events independently of the traditional Australia Day date of 26 January.

Winners of the 2023 Tweed Shire Australia Day Awards were announced at Council’s ceremony in Tweed Heads in January this year.

• Arts and Culture Award
