Citizen of the Year Award
Citizen Awards - Waimarino-Waiouru and Taumarunui
In August every year, Council calls for nominations for Citizen Awards in the Waimarino-Waiouru and Taumarunui areas (see below for criteria).
The Waimarino-Waiouru Award’s successful recipient is decided upon by the Waimarino-Waiouru Community Board, and presented at the last Council meeting of the year (held in Ohakune).
The Taumarunui Award (encompassing the Ohura, Taumarunui and National Park Wards) comprises a committee of the Ohura Ward Councillor and Chairpersons of Taumarunui Ward Committee and National Park Community Board. The presentation to the successful nominee is made at the Mayor’s Christmas Party held at the Taumarunui Memorial Hall, usually the first Tuesday of December.
