Nominations for the Australian of the Year Awards 2016 are now open!
Each year our nation celebrates the achievement and contribution of eminent Australians through the Australian of the Year Awards by profiling leading citizens who are role models for us all. They inspire us through their achievements and challenge us to make our own contribution to creating a better Australia. The Awards continue to offer an insight into the Australian identity and celebrate the diversity of its people.
The Australian of the Year Awards provide all Australians with the opportunity to recognise someone who makes them proud in four categories: Australian of the Year; Senior Australian of the Year (those aged 60 years and over); Young Australian of the year (ages 16 to 30); and Australia’s Local Hero.
Further information is also available at www.australianoftheyear.gov.au or by telephone on 1300 655 193
The section of Bulimba Creek bikeway from Stackpole Street to Mount Gravatt-Capalaba Road, will be closed from May 2014 to April 2015, weather and construction conditions permitting. This is required to safely complete construction of the new bridge for westbound Mt Gravatt-Capalaba Road traffic.
During this closure there will be no pedestrian or cycle access beneath Mt Gravatt-Capalaba Road. An alternative route is shown in the attached map. These works are part of the Gateway Upgrade South Stage 2 (Mt Gravatt-Capalaba Road) project. Improved pedestrian and cyclist provision including along the northern side of Mt Gravatt-Capalaba Road will be provided as part of the project.
