Melton community awards

Steve McGHIE (Melton) (10:09): It has been a busy fortnight out in Melton with various events celebrating the achievements of many outstanding community members and the Djerriwarrh Festival bringing the entire Melton community together. Last Thursday I attended the Melton community achievement awards at the Witchmount Estate. It was a wonderful event recognising some of the dedicated members of the Melton community and their achievements. I extend my congratulations to each of the awardees and express my gratitude for their unwavering support to the Melton community. Each recipient exhibits the unique spirit and leadership that has a remarkable influence on the community’s general wellbeing. They are Citizen of the Year Claire Mouser, Young Citizens of the Year Comfort Kennedy and Mollie van der Linden, Access and Inclusion Leader of the Year Lucas Murana, Gender Equity Leader of the Year Kirisome Ronick Jnr Lam and Intercultural Engagement Leader of the Year Mashair Mohammed Abdalla. I also congratulate all the nominees.
