The Rural City of Murray Bridge invites residents to celebrate local legends by nominating them for the prestigious Citizen of the Year Awards.

Mayor Wayne Thorley encourages the community to reflect on the remarkable contributions of individuals who enrich our lives and enhance our community.
“Our community is built on the incredible efforts of individuals whose hard work and passion uplift our community,” he said.
“We have many extraordinary people among us who selflessly dedicate their time and talents. This is our chance to express gratitude and celebrate those who go above and beyond. Your nomination could shine a light on someone who truly deserves recognition for their outstanding contribution to the community.”
