Nominate now for a Lake Mac Award
It’s time to give the City’s sporting greats, accomplished artists, environmental warriors, and volunteers recognition for their achievements and making a positive difference to our community, by nominating them for a 2021 Lake Macquarie City Award.
Lake Macquarie Mayor Cr Kay Fraser said the awards celebrate the people and groups that show that our City is made up of a creative, active and inclusive community.
