Trevor Eddy
Paul HAMER (Box Hill – Minister for Local Government, Minister for Youth Justice, Minister for Corrections) (14:56): I would like to congratulate a local legend of the Box Hill North community Trevor Eddy on being awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia at the King’s Birthday honours. Trevor’s commitments to the Box Hill community are too numerous to mention. I want to mention just a few that he has had locally, including being treasurer of the Doncaster Community Gardeners since 2011 and president since 2019; volunteer coordinator of the Greenlink nursery in Box Hill since 2016 and treasurer since 2012; on the committee of management of the Clota Cottage Neighbourhood House since 2014 and president since 2021; a member of Burke and Beyond, a local registered disability service provider, since 2006 and president since 2009; volunteer at the Whitehorse City Council Spring Festival since 2011; and a team volunteer at the Box Hill Community Bakehouse food rescue at the Box Hill Baptist Church since 2021. Trevor has previously also received the Citizen of the Year award from the Whitehorse City Council, the Chisholm Volunteer of the Year award in 2017 and the Menzies Australia Day award in 2022. I could not think of a more worthy recipient.
