Citizen of the Year Nomination Form 2024

The search is now on for the next Bathurst Citizen of the Year.

The Local Citizen of the Year Award honours a deserving member of the community and recognises their outstanding contribution to the local community within the past two years. The award is presented annually as part of the Australia Day awards ceremony. 

The Citizen of the Year Awards have been a part of the Australia Day in NSW program since 2005, with Local Government Areas (LGAs) embracing the program to celebrate outstanding citizens across the state. The Australia Day Council of NSW provides certificates for presentation to the Citizen of the Year with the local Citizen of the Year Award administered by Bathurst Regional Council.

The Citizen of the Year is encouraged to be involved in a number of Council initiatives and activities.

Nominate an outstanding Bathurst Citizen and thank them for their contribution to the City in which we live!

Please note there are conditions of entry and eligibility criteria that apply to the award.

Council looks forward to your application and thank you for being involved.
