What makes our community so special besides being stunningly beautiful?
It is home to some incredible, selfless and inspirational unpaid workers, our volunteers, and businesses that pro bono their services. Now is the opportunity to share what makes them special in the eyes of your club or organisation.
Celebrating its seventh year, the latest opportunity to honour our unsung heroes comes in the form of the 2023 Noosa Electorate Queensland Day Awards. It’s about nominating those who give their time, expertise and services for the Noosa electorate, free of charge.
Sandy Bolton MP joined award partners Helen Hollingworth from Cooroy RSL and Noosa Today’s Abbey Cannan to give a sneak preview of 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 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.
A great response is expected again this year and nominations will be accepted until the Sunday 21 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 again 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, Noosa Today and the Cooroy RSL.
