Honour local hero with Qld Day award

The Noosa electorate is home to many incredible, selfless and inspirational unpaid workers. Our volunteers, and businesses that pro bono their services donate thousands of hours and contribute to making our community so special. Now is the opportunity to share and recognise the efforts they do for your club or organisation.

Celebrating its eighth year, the latest opportunity to honour our unsung heroes comes in the form of the 2024 Noosa Electorate Queensland Day Awards. It’s about nominating those who generously give their time, expertise, and services for the Noosa electorate at no charge.

Award sponsors, Noosa MP Sandy Bolton, Cooroy RSL and Noosa Today are excited to present this fabulous event once again.

“Queensland Day is an opportunity to celebrate our culture, heritage, people and unique identity. We also get to honour inspiring Queensland role models who encourage us all to do better and be better. So many of our fellow ‘Noosans’ do this by giving their time and expertise for the benefit of others and for our collective community,” Sandy shared.

Great response is expected again this year, and nominations will be accepted until noon Wednesday, 22 May deadline. The awards are open to recipients who have volunteered for a minimum of two years for the Noosa electorate and who have not previously received this award. There is a limit of two nominations per organisation.

Nominees 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 Thursday 6 June at The J in Noosa Junction.

Cooroy RSL’s General Manager Helen Hollingworth said partnering with the awards was a great fit for the club.

“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 again be a part of this annual Queensland Day tradition of honouring our local treasures,” Helen said.

For more information about the awards, contact the Noosa Electorate Office on 5319 3100 or complete on online nomination at www.sandybolton.com/qld-day-awards. Hard copies of nomination forms are available from Sandy’s office 28 Eenie Creek Rd, Noosaville.
