The Brimbank Australia Day Awards recognise the exceptional contribution, hard work and determination of local individuals making a positive difference within Brimbank.

Mayor of Brimbank, Cr Lucinda Congreve presented the Brimbank Australia Day Awards as part of the Australia Day celebrations.

The recipients of the 2019 Brimbank Australia Day Awards, presented across two categories are:

• Citizen of the Year:  Senada Bosnic Ekic
   
• Young Citizen of the Year:  Hue Man Dang
   

“The achievements of this year’s recipients have delivered exceptional benefits for the Brimbank community. On behalf of Council I’d like to extend our congratulations to all of the nominees and recipients for their enormous contribution to our great city.

“Your efforts have not gone unnoticed, and it is both a privilege and a joy to publicly acknowledge local people who are community minded and selflessly devoted to benefitting others.

“We’re very fortunate in Brimbank to have such ‘role models’ in our community who inspire and motivate others through their immense actions.

“It was this pool of talent that provided members of the judging panel with a difficult selection task this year.

“The Brimbank Australia Day Awards are held annually and are open to individuals who live or conduct their activities in the Brimbank area.

“I encourage people to start thinking about who they might nominate later this year for the 2020 Awards, as there are so many individuals in our community doing great work,” Cr Congreve said.
