At 5FOLD, we believe a thriving community is built not just by meeting needs, but by celebrating the unique strengths that make it exceptional. Our Community Awards are designed to recognise and honour individuals whose passion, dedication and generosity inspire us all.

This year, we were delighted to welcome our Federal Member, Scott Buchholz, who joined us to present the awards and celebrate the outstanding contributions of our community members.

Our awards shine a spotlight on remarkable individuals across five categories:

• Sports Person Talent Award: Honouring athletes whose dedication, teamwork and sportsmanship positively impact our community.
• Youth Community Champion Award: Celebrating young leaders whose initiative and advocacy inspire change and uplift those around them.
• Community Initiative Award: Recognising residents whose innovative efforts create lasting, meaningful improvements in our local community.
• Most Valued Volunteer Award: Highlighting the selfless individuals whose time and commitment make a significant difference through volunteer service.
• Over 50’s Inspiration Award: Honouring residents aged 50 and above whose achievements, resilience and leadership continue to inspire and influence our community.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to all our 2024 Community Awards winners for their outstanding contributions and we also want to recognise every individual who was nominated and reached the finalist stage in this highly competitive round. Your dedication, passion and commitment to make our community stronger is inspiring and each of you deserves to be celebrated for the positive impact you create every day. Keep an eye out for our 2025 nominations opening soon!
