South Burnett Regional Council announces 2022 Australia Day Award Recipients
With community safety as our primary concern the difficult decision was made by Council to postpone the Australia Day Awards Cersmony. Council announced the 2022 Australia Day Award recipients via video on Wednesday 26 January 2022. A link to the video is available here.
Mayor Brett Otto said “South Burnett is privileged to have so many dedicated people within our community. We take great pride in our region and being part of this great Australian story, so it is important for us to recognise these people that truly make a difference. Congratulations to all award recipients and a sincere thank you to our nominees and our community for their support in nominating their peers for an award.”
