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 Volunteer Awards are an opportunity for these people and/or community organisations to be recognised for their contribution.
Nominations for the 2024 awards have now closed.
