Shire Mayor Councillor David Gill said the awards will continue to recognise and remember their namesake Delys who was a driving force behind creating better opportunities and support for older community members on the Peninsula.
“I encourage everyone to get involved by nominating an organisation or individual that is supporting our older people to remain healthy, active and independent across the Peninsula.
“Don’t forget the awards are also open to younger people, businesses and clubs – only a handful of categories are exclusively for older people aged over 50”.
Chair of the Shire’s Positive Ageing Steering Committee and Seawinds Ward Councillor Antonella Celi said “the awards are a great opportunity to celebrate the work being done by and for our senior community members and recognise their invaluable contribution to our local region”.
Nominations close Tuesday 4 June 2019.
