Recognising those who make a difference to our community
The Stars in ßÙßÇÂþ» awards celebrate the extraordinary individuals and teams who go above and beyond to make ßÙßÇÂþ» a better place to live, work, and thrive.
In its third year, the 2024 awards took place on Tuesday 3 December. The evening was dedicated to recognising the dedication, innovation, and tireless service of our local heroes, staff, and community champions.
These awards highlight ßÙßÇÂþ»'s spirit of collaboration, empathy, and excellence. Each nomination showed how collective effort can bring meaningful change. We are proud to have celebrated our amazing community. Take a look at our highlight reel below.
