Member for Gilmore, Fiona Phillips MP has today congratulated local Queen’s Birthday 2020 Honours recipients.
Eleven local people have received recognition as part of the 2020 Queen’s Birthday Honours list to acknowledge and celebrate their contributions to our community and Australia.
Fiona Phillips said she was proud to see so many locals honoured as part of this year’s list, following a harrowing year for the South Coast.
“Our community has been through so much over the last year and it is wonderful to have something to celebrate,” Mrs Phillips said.
“I know there are so many amazing local people who are worthy of recognition for what they do every day to help and support others. It is incredibly humbling to see so many receiving this prestigious honour,”
“Congratulations to all our local recipients and thank you for everything you do for our community,” Fiona Phillips said.
Mrs Phillips also encouraged anyone who knows someone worthy of receiving recognition for their contributions to our community to consider nominating them for an award. Information on the nomination process is available here.
