2024 Community Award Winners
Each year, Berri Barmera Council celebrates the efforts and commitment of individuals and groups in our community who make our district a better place to live through their volunteer commitment to our District.
Traditionally our Council’s Community Awards are received via public nomination and presented on Australia Day.
In 2024 Mayor Ella Winnall had great pleasure in announcing our Award recipients at a civic ceremony on the Berri riverfront on Australia Day.
