Residents are encouraged to nominate members of the community for the awards.
This year's Australia Day Community Citizen of the Year winner, Ayesha Patterson, wants Mandurah residents to get involved and nominate people doing outstanding things for their fellow residents.
Ms Patterson, who won last years local Youth Citizen of the Year Award, used her platform to raise awareness and funds for Guide Dogs WA.
She was blinded by a spider bite, and following her highly successful local fundraiser, Dining in the Dark, was recognised for her contributions to the community.
“For me the best thing about this award was that it raised awareness of the cause I am passionate about,” Ayesha said.
“In concrete terms the award meant that more people knew about Dining in the Dark and ticket sales went up.
“In fact we have a dinner on October 13 so check out my Dining in the Dark Mandurah Facebook page."
Ayesha now sits on the City's Access Advisory Group, continuing her work for the community.
Mayor Rhys Williams congratulated Ayesha on her achievement.
“This is a win for the City and a win for Ayesha,” he said.
Mayor Williams also called on residents to nominate locals deserving of awards. The Citizen of the Year awards span four categories including youth, senior and active and the Citizen of the Year award.
