Recognising those who make a difference to our community
The Stars in ÄûÃʵ¼°¹ awards celebrate the extraordinary individuals and teams who go above and beyond to make ÄûÃʵ¼°¹ a better place to live, work, and thrive.
In its third year, the 2024 awards took place on Tuesday 3 December. The evening was dedicated to recognising the dedication, innovation, and tireless service of our local heroes, staff, and community champions.
These awards highlight ÄûÃʵ¼°¹'s spirit of collaboration, empathy, and excellence. Each nomination showed how collective effort can bring meaningful change. We are proud to have celebrated our amazing community. Take a look at our highlight reel below.
