The annual awards celebrate individuals and organisations whose dedication, achievements and community spirit have made a positive impact across the region.
Mayor Ashley Hall said it presents an opportunity to acknowledge those who often work behind the scenes to make life better for others.
“Every community has people who give their time, talents and energy to make life better for others, often without seeking recognition,” Cr Hall said.
Nominations are invited across nine categories, including Citizen of the Year, Young Citizen of the Year, senior and junior sports and arts awards, Community Event of the Year, Community Group of the Year, and the Environmental Citizen/Group of the Year award.
Nominations close on November 18 and can be submitted online through Edward River Council.
Hard-copy nomination forms are also available from council's Customer Service Centre and the Edward River Library.
Award recipients will be announced during the Australia Day celebrations at Waring Gardens on January 26, 2027.
