Looking ahead to celebrate Frankston

Published on 02 October 2020

We all need a little something positive to look forward to at the moment, and what better way than celebrating those who work tirelessly to give back to our community.

Each year Council acknowledges the achievements and contributions made by members of our community as part of the Frankston City Australia Day Citizen of the Year Awards.

Council CEO, Phil Cantillon said that while this year has been difficult for many, it has also brought out the best in our people and has truly highlighted the amazing community spirit we have in Frankston.

“We all know those unsung heroes who are always putting others first, this year let’s make sure they are rewarded and thanked for their efforts,” Mr Cantillon said.

“Whether it’s fundraising for bushfire affected communities, adapting existing services to support our community during a pandemic, creative ideas helping give a boost during lockdown or any number of ongoing projects, community groups, community events or activities which bring our community together, we have a wealth of admirable people who deserve to be recognised”.
