Now is the time to recognise people who have worked tirelessly to build a better community in the City of Gosnells.
Mayor Terresa Lynes said nominations were now open for the City of Gosnells Community Citizen of the Year Award.
“I encourage people to think about nominating someone who has made a difference, such as our wonderful volunteers and charity workers,” Mayor Lynes said.
“Nominating someone is the best way to recognise their efforts and to celebrate their achievements.”
Nominations close on Friday 31 October, and the awards will be presented on Australia Day, Monday 26 January 2026.
There are four Community Citizen of the Year Award categories:
• Community Citizen of the Year – individuals over 16 years old.
