Victorian Councillor Service Awards
We recognise the contribution of all councillors and continue the tradition of conferring awards for long serving councillors. Councillor Service Awards Nominations are now open. Nomination close on Friday 8 October 2021.
The Victorian Councillor Service Awards comprise two awards:
- Long service is recognised at 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 years' service.
- The award of Mayor Emeritus recognises councillors who have served three or more full terms as mayor. A full term is considered 12 months. In a local government election year, a full term may be considered less than 12 months.
