Do you know a senior resident of the Kiama LGA who deserves to be recognised for their contributions to the community? Then what better way to honour them than by nominating them for the 2024 NSW Seniors Festival Local Achievement Awards.

Winners will be announced at the annual festival, which takes place from 11 - 24 March this year, with events in Sydney around the International Convention & Exhibit Centre at Darling Harbour.

NSW Member for Kiama Gareth Ward encouraged Kiama residents to nominate someone from the community, with nominations closing 12 March 2024.

“If you know a local senior in the Kiama electorate who helps make our local community great, inspiring and active, then I encourage you to nominate them for official acknowledgement of their distinguished contribution and volunteering efforts,” said Ward.

“This annual festival is about celebrating the positive impact of older people in our families and society.”

“Nominations are now open for the awards program, one of many initiatives the NSW Government promotes to support the state’s seniors living happy, healthy, and active lives.

You can nominate someone from the NSW Seniors Festival website, or by picking up a form from Gareth Ward’s office on Terralong Street, Kiama.

The theme for this year’s festival is “Reach Beyond”.
