Forbes Shire Council is asking everyone to nominate community members who have displayed excellence in development and promotion of our heritage. 

“I welcome you all to nominate, a person or community group who you think has contributed to the Shire’s environmental heritage or to the understanding of that heritage,” Mayor Phyllis Miller said in a statement.

“We have a very rich and colourful past, let’s celebrate it. We want future generations to build on this legacy and continue to share it. Please also think about heritage projects in town and nominate them as well."

The Forbes Heritage Volunteer Award is for person/s or a community group who have demonstrated excellence in their field of expertise, by being a role model for the Forbes Shire’s community. They will have demonstrated leadership, innovation and creativity in their endeavours to preserve our heritage.  

The Forbes Heritage Medal is awarded to a project such as the conservation of a building, place or object through maintenance, preservation, repair and reconstruction considering the historic townscape and rural setting in which the building sits.

Nomination forms are online at forbes.nsw.gov.au

Forbes Heritage 2019 is from May 6 to 9.
