Australia Day Winners 2021

Published on Tuesday, 26 January 2021 at 12:47:53 PM

Every year, the Shire of Coolgardie recognises and acknowledges individuals, community groups and organisations for the contributions they have made to our community.

In the past year Australia has faced immense challenges – drought, bushfire, and the coronavirus pandemic.  Through these tough times, the Shire of Coolgardie’s community has risen to the occasion by supporting one another which is evidenced in the sheer number of nominations received for this year’s Australia Day Awards.  

Throughout the Shire, we received an impressive 41 nominations – what an awesome result.
