Centenarians
Council offers an opportunity to recognise and honour the contribution of Fraser Coast residents turning 100 years of age through the planting of a Centenary Tree.
The trees are planted in the Elizabeth Park Rose Garden in Maryborough, the Hervey Bay Botanic Garden or the Tiaro Memorial Park.
Each tree planting is accompanied by a small celebration ceremony and the placement of a plaque with the centenarian’s name and birth date.
Application is to be made to Council prior to the awarding of a Centenary Tree. Please see the policy and application form above. -
Volunteers
Council is proud of the achievements of so many of our residents and we want them to know by acknowledging them with a letter from the Mayor.
Examples of achievements include: long term volunteering, dedication to community, volunteering contributions, excellence within school or sporting achievements. -
Youth Acknowledgement
A congratulatory letter is also great way to celebrate the achievements of young people in our community who have excelled in academics, sports, or community service.
