Honour your local hero at Noosa Qld Day awards

Sandy Bolton MP joined award partners Helen Hollingworth from Cooroy RSL and Noosa Today’s Abbey Cannan to show off the 2022 Noosa Electorate Queensland Day Award medallions.

Noosa is home to some incredible, selfless and inspirational volunteers.

Maybe you’d like to share what makes them special in the eyes of your club or organisation?

Celebrating its sixth year, the latest opportunity to honour our unsung heroes comes in the form of the 2022 Noosa Electorate Queensland Day Awards. It’s about nominating those who volunteer or give their time, expertise and services for the Noosa electorate.

Sandy Bolton MP joined award partners Helen Hollingworth from Cooroy RSL and Noosa Today’s Abbey Cannan to give us a look at the medallions to be presented to each of the award recipients.

“Queensland Day is an opportunity to celebrate our culture, heritage, people and unique identity.

“We also get to honour our inspiring Queensland role models who encourage us all to do better and be better. So many of our Noosa locals do this by volunteering for the benefit of others and for our collective community,” Sandy said.

A great response is expected again this year and nominations will be accepted until the Sunday 15 May deadline.

The awards are open to first-time award recipients who have volunteered for a minimum of two years for the Noosa electorate.

There is a limit of two nominations per organisation.

Every completed nomination will see the recipient presented with a personalised Noosa Electorate Queensland Day Award Medallion and a certificate of recognition at a Queensland Day Ceremony on Monday 6 June at The J.

Cooroy RSL’s general manager Helen Hollingworth said partnering with the awards was a great fit.

“We have a wonderful community that we are very proud to be a part of. We work closely with and support so many fantastic not for profit groups and we are excited to be a part of this annual Queensland Day tradition of honouring our local treasures,” Helen said.

The annual Noosa Electorate Queensland Day Awards are proudly sponsored by Sandy Bolton MP, Noosa Today and the Cooroy RSL.
