Griffith City Council extends Griffith Australia Day award nominations deadline

Council has made the decision to extend the deadline for nominations from 5pm this Friday to 4pm December 8.

Griffith City mayor Doug Curran says while some nominations have been received, he would like to see a lot more and hopes the extra time frame can allow that to happen.

"We've received some in several categories but so far the numbers aren't quite what we have been hoping. With that bit of extra time I encourage more to flow through for all categories," Cr Curran said.

"So many times people say after the fact how they wished they had nominated someone, how good that would have been. Now is the time to make that happen.

Nominations can be made in the following categories:
