Do you know someone who should be celebrated?
Council are calling for members of the Shire to consider nominating one of your fellow neighbours, community representatives or outstanding citizens who contribute to the Upper Lachlan Shire community.
Awards are presented annually by Upper Lachlan Shire Council in partnership with the Australia Day Council to promote and recognise outstanding examples of citizenship and achievement within the Shire. A selection committee assesses all nominations in strict confidence. The winners will be announced on 26 January 2026 as part of the Australia Day celebrations.
