Congratulations to Blacktown City’s Australia Day Citizenship Award winners

I had the great pleasure to announce Blacktown City's Australia Day Citizenship Award winners at a special presentation on Thursday, 26 January 2012.

Congratulations to Joe and Joanne Tau who were named Blacktown City's 2011 Joint Citizens of the Year, Timothy Hodge as Young Citizen of the Year and Jalsa Salana for the Community Event of the Year. Their remarkable achievements and commitment to the local community is ongoing and a great reflection of the great people we have in Blacktown City.

Nominated by members of the public, these awards are an opportunity for the community to recognise those who have provided remarkable service and achieved at a high level, this could be through the development of a service or program, for their long term commitment to a charity or organisation, and many more commendable community activities.

Congratulations to all nominees and award winners on their achievements.
