Celebrate the 2025 Australia Day Awards
The Burdekin Shire Council invites the community to join in the celebration of Australia Day 2025 at the Burdekin Theatre, Ayr, on Sunday 26 January 2025.
The free event, starting at 9:30am, will honour the remarkable contributions and achievements of local residents through the Australia Day Awards and welcome the Burdekin’s newest Australian citizens during a special Citizenship Ceremony.
Burdekin Shire Mayor Pierina Dalle Cort encourages everyone to attend this meaningful occasion.
“Australia Day is a wonderful opportunity to come together as a community to celebrate the achievements, diversity, and spirit that make the Burdekin such a special place to call home,” Mayor Dalle Cort said.
“I encourage everyone to join us in recognising the outstanding contributions of our residents and welcoming our newest Australian citizens on this significant day.”
The 2025 Australia Day Awards will recognise outstanding individuals and groups across various categories, including:
• Citizen and Young Citizen of the Year
• Junior and Senior Sporting and Cultural Awards
• Environmental Award
• Volunteer of the Year
• Community Event of the Year
• Lifetime of Service Certificates for dedicated volunteers who have made long-term contributions to the community.
The event will feature the Citizenship Ceremony, where the Burdekin’s newest Australians will be officially welcomed. This is a unique opportunity to reflect on the richness of our nation’s diversity and the values we all share.
Let’s come together to celebrate what makes the Burdekin community and Australia truly special.
