Citizen of the Year nominations now open
NOW is your chance to shine a spotlight on the unsung heroes in our community, with nominations officially open for the 2026 City of Parramatta Citizen of the Year Awards. The annual awards celebrate the incredible individuals and groups who go above and beyond for the local community, whether it’s through volunteering, leadership, creativity, environmental action or just showing up when it matters most. City of Parramatta Lord Mayor Cr Martin Zaiter said he was looking forward to hearing about the unsung heroes who serve the community. “Every year, I’m blown away by the generosity, passion and heart of our local residents,” said Cr Zaiter. “The Citizen of the Year Awards are all about recognising the everyday legends who make Parramatta such a vibrant and caring place to live. If someone inspires you – nominate them.” You don’t need to live in Parramatta to nominate someone. Everyone is welcome to submit a nomination, but nominees must live, work or contribute significantly to the Parramatta area. Nominations will close at 5pm on Friday 14 November, with judging panel EOIs closing at 5pm on Monday 27 October. Visit council’s website for information.
