QLD DAY AWARDS

Celebrating those who make a difference!

Every year, we come together to honour and celebrate the outstanding work of our volunteers and professionals who donate their time and services to support local not for profit organisations, events and initiatives.

The Noosa Electorate Queensland Day Awards coincide with Queensland Day celebrations, and community groups and not for profits are encouraged to nominate those who contribute significantly to the Noosa community.

We are seeking nominations from registered not-for profit groups such as sporting clubs, charities, and community organisations for anyone who has volunteered or provided pro-bono services to your group. These awards are open to first-time recipients who have volunteered for a minimum of two years with a limit of two nominations per organisation.

Nominations for the 2024 QLD Day Awards opened on Monday 15 April and nominations closed 12pm Wednesday 22 May 2024. Photos from the ceremonies are available at the links below.

You can view galleries from previous ceremonies here: 2019; 2022; 2023; 2024;

𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐁𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄 𝐃𝐀𝐘 2024 🌹🕊 Every year at 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month, we pause in silence for 1 minute to acknowledge, honour and remember. The Tewantin Noosa RSL Sub Branch held a beautiful service for those who never came home, and for those who returned bearing visible, and invisible, scars they carried for life. It was an honour to speak, release a peace dove 🕊and gather afterwards with our veterans and their families to give personal hugs of gratitude and love 💗 Thank you to our subbranch team, all in attendance including Mayor Frank and Councillors Amelia, Jess and Nicola, to fellow speakers and wreath layers, and most of all, our veterans 🙏 You are so loved.To honour and acknowledge their sacrifices, we must every day strive to be the best we can, and never take for granted the freedoms they fought for. We will always remember.Lest We Forget. ♥🌅 ... See MoreSee Less

𝐍𝐄𝐖 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒 𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐃 👩‍⚖️ A hearty congratulations to all of our new Ministers and Members of Parliament, and to the LNP for forming a majority Government. It has been very much an ‘edge of seat’ election 🤼, and no doubt everyone is excited and working hard in readiness for the first Parliamentary sitting! To those who missed out, we send our best wishes and gratitude for the time spent with you over the years regardless of which side of the Chamber you sat! 🙏We now look forward to working with all MPs and Government in continuing to achieve for Noosa as we have, and for broader Queensland. As mentioned in Noosa Today, we have requested surety and timelines on welcomed LNP election promises made to Noosa during the campaign, as there were no ‘caveats’, only that should they be elected to government, they would deliver 👍👉Read further on this at noosatoday.com.au/news/04-11-2024/independent-noosa-mp-calls-for-new-government-to-deliver-electi...👉For a list of the new Ministers and their portfolios, head to cabinet.qld.gov.au/ministers-portfolios.aspx ...
