Regional awards

The search is on for individuals, businesses and community groups that are making a difference in our local community through the annual Victorian Regional Achievement and Community Awards.

East Gippsland Shire Council Mayor Cr Marianne Pelz invites all residents to consider nominating an individual, business or group that is helping to reshape and inspire the community.

“These awards are specifically for people in regional areas. If you know someone that has provided support and made a real difference in your life, why not give them a pat on the back and nominate them for an award. It would be great for our community’s contributors to be showcased in these awards,” Cr Pelz said.

  • Regional Development Victoria Leadership and Innovation
