Our Banks Peninsula Community Service Awards give well-deserved recognition to the people who make our communities better places to live.
They are a way of thanking and honouring volunteers who, without pay and with little recognition, demonstrate dedication and passion, inspiring others to make service a central part of their lives.
Whether for youth, older adults, education, culture, church, recreation, sport or community service fields, we want to ensure volunteers are thanked and honoured for their dedication.
We only find out about these people through you. If you know of someone who deserves recognition for their community service, nominate them for a Community Service Award.
For Banks Peninsula, CSAs are held every three years. Nominations for 2024 will be open from 1 to 31 March.
