It’s official! The Burdekin Shire Council’s 2025 Australia Day Awards nominees have been announced, and there are some excited and very nervous candidates among them. When nominations closed on the 4th of December 2024, a total of 25 surprised recipients were nominated. But they’ll have to sit patiently until Australia Day to find out whether they’ve won.
Until then, they’re left to wait, some chewing their fingernails. However, for most, it's business as usual, and they take their nomination in stride, thankful for the recognition and honour.
The award categories include: Citizen of the Year Award, Young Citizen of the Year Award (Under 25), Lifetime Service Award, Volunteer of the Year Award, Community Event of the Year Award, Senior Sports Award, Junior Sports Award, Senior Cultural Award, Junior Cultural Award, and Environment Award.
The day includes a Citizenship Ceremony, presentation of the Australia Day Awards, and cutting of the Australia Day cake.
Special guest, Dr. Robert McGregor, will be the Ambassador for the 2025 Australia Day Awards Ceremony on the day, with the ceremony to take place on Sunday, 26th of January, 2025 at the Burdekin Theatre.
