Do you know someone who is making a difference in your local neighbourhood? 

Nominations are now open for the 2025 City of Gosnells Neighbour of the Year Award, which recognises and celebrates local people who dedicate their time to help and support their neighbours and contribute to their local neighbourhood. 

“This award provides the opportunity to publicly recognise and celebrate the good deeds of someone who goes above and beyond to make their neighbourhood a great place to live,” Mayor Terresa Lynes said. 

“Having supportive, kind and caring people around you helps to create a cohesive, safe and friendly neighbourhood.

“We are looking for Neighbour of the Year nominees who show a sense of pride in their local neighbourhood and are proactive in bringing their neighbours together to create social connections and show a willingness to help others and build supportive relationships.”

“I encourage you to nominate someone you think deserves to be recognised by their neighbours and the wider community.”

Earlier this year, 23-year-old Kash Ahearn was named the recipient of the City’s 2024 Neighbour of the Year Award.

Mr Ahearn was praised for showing “everyday acts of kindness” to his neighbours. All Neighbour of the Year nominees and those who nominated them will be invited to a special morning tea hosted by the City. 

The winner will be announced the week before Neighbour Day, which is on Sunday 30 March 2025.

For more information or to nominate someone, complete the form here. Nominations close on Monday 3 February 2025.
