2014 Resilient Australia Awards open

Applications for the 2014 Resilient Australia Awards are now open.

Federal Member for Hinkler Keith Pitt is encouraging local residents to nominate before July 2.

“Hinkler residents endured tornadoes, two major floods in two years and are now in the midst of a drought,” Mr Pitt said.

“The awards acknowledge community efforts in recovery, building resilience, preparedness, providing mental health support and education, emergency broadcasting and volunteering.

“These are all things the Hinkler community has done exceptionally well in recent years.”
