Now it's time to celebrate this incredible milestone together.

🌟 Who is your local hero? 🌟

Every day, there are people in our community making a difference. They volunteer their time, support others, bring people together, inspire through sport, arts and culture, care for the environment, and help make the Edward River region a great place to live.

Nominations for the 2027 Australia Day Awards are now open! 🎉

If someone has made a positive impact on your life, your club, your organisation or the wider community, now is the perfect time to recognise them.

✨ Here's the important part: don't assume someone else will do it.
Many deserving people miss out on recognition simply because nobody takes that extra step.

Let's celebrate the people, groups and events that make our community special and shine a spotlight on the local heroes who help our region thrive. ❤️

✅ Nominate your local hero today
✅ Nine award categories available
✅ Nominations close 18 November 2026

♻️ Last Saturday's Community Compost Day was a fantastic success, with 155 vehicles coming through the gates and an incredible 100 tonnes of compost given away, all gone by 12.30pm!

A big thank you to everyone who came along, and to our hardworking Council crews who helped make the day run so smoothly. It's great to see so many residents making the most of the recycled waste from our green bins to improve their gardens and properties.

Special thanks to community members like Michael and Archer Ladson, and Tim Vanlieshout, who was spotted lending a hand to fellow resident Judy Bond.

What a great community effort! 🌱♻️🚜
