The winners in each category below will be named on Australia Day 2021.

“Last year I had the pleasure of meeting genuine and deserving candidates including the Auburn Hospital Recyclers,” said Mayor Christou.
The Auburn Hospital Recyclers are a group of dedicated environmentalists that founded the Auburn Hospital Recycling for the Future Project and were among the other winners in their categories. The group continues to find new ways to recycle items and reduce waste.
“Please take the time to complete a Nomination Form and let us know who is a deserving Cumberland City candidate in one of this year’s categories.”
