BELLINGEN Shire Council formally recognised the hard work and dedication of its approximately 170 volunteers at a Volunteer Appreciation Event on Thursday 19 June at the Waterfall Way Visitor Information Centre.
The evening brought together volunteers from across Council programs to celebrate their invaluable service to the community.
Volunteers play a vital role in delivering local services and building community spirit, from supporting libraries and the Waterfall Way Visitor Information Centre to maintaining community halls and recreational reserves and assisting with events at the Bellingen Memorial Hall.
Bellingen Shire Mayor Steve Allan, expressed heartfelt thanks to all involved in supporting the Bellingen Shire community.
“Our volunteers give their time, skills and energy to help make our community stronger, more inclusive and better connected,” said Mayor Allan.
“This event was just one way we can show our appreciation and say thank you for their incredible efforts throughout the year.”
The celebration included a presentation of certificates acknowledging long-standing volunteers across all Council programs and Section 355 Committees.
