Nominations are now open for the 'Local Heroes' Awards which recognise the extraordinary contribution of volunteers, our local heroes, who work tirelessly in our community. 

This year the Awards will recognise the efforts of those who supported our community during and following the flood event in February/March 2022.  Please nominate someone you know who went above and beyond to help our community through the flood.

The Awards are open to volunteers living in or active members of a community group based in Moorooka Ward and/or Tennyson Ward in the Brisbane City Council area.

The Awards recognise the work of volunteers whose selfless efforts have helped to improve the lives of others and/or those who have helped to build community spirit, resilience and identity in our local area.  Up to ten people will be recognised annually.

Nomination forms are available to download here and are also available from my office.  All nominations must be submitted by Friday 16 December 2022.  Submit entries to This email address is being protected from spambots.
