Mayor Mark Jamieson said the Sunshine Coast Australia Day Awards are an opportunity to publicly recognise and honour the achievements of locals who have made an outstanding contribution to the region.
“There is no doubt we have heroes in our midst making a difference to life on the Sunshine Coast. So it is important that we not only celebrate their contribution on Australia Day but also publicly acknowledge them via a formal, highly respected, awards program,” he said.
“This year we are delighted to welcome seven local businesses as category sponsors for the Awards.
“I extend my thanks, in recognition of their valuable support, to the Sunshine Coast Daily, Seven Local News, University of the Sunshine Coast, Sunshine Coast Sports Federation, Maroochy RSL, Cleantech Industries Sunshine Coast and TAFE Queensland East Coast.”
