Corangamite Shire Australia Day Awards

Nominations are now open for Corangamite Shire's 2026 Australia Day Awards.

On 26 January each year, we publicly recognise the exceptional contributions, hard work and determination of people who make a positive difference within Corangamite Shire.

We have many champions in our Shire who do wonderful deeds in their community, who work quietly around our towns, drive kids to footy practice, deliver meals-on-wheels, perhaps volunteer with CFA or other community organisations or have just made a difference.  The Community Awards are an opportunity for these people and/or community organisations to be recognised for their contribution.

The 2026 ceremony will be at Camperdown's Theatre Royal on Monday 26 January 2026, from 10am, honouring the Citizen of the Year, Young Citizen of the Year, Community Event of the Year.
