Gaven is full of people who quietly get on with making our community better, no fuss no fanfare, just showing up week after week because they care. It's one of the things I love most about representing such a caring community. Whether it's the parents who give their time to P&Cs or sports clubs, the educators who go above and beyond, the young people already giving back, or the seniors who've spent a lifetime doing so, I want to recognise you.

I created these awards to say thank you to the people who give back to the Gaven community.

Our community has nominated some incredible locals, volunteers, clubs, educators and advocates for the Gaven Community Awards.

Now it's your turn to have your say!

These awards are all about recognising the people who give their time, energy and heart to our community - often without expecting anything in return.

Voting is officially open across seven categories.

Voting closes on October 9th at 12pm.
