Ten residents and 2 organisations have been recognised for their long-standing contributions to the region at this year’s Campbelltown City Jubilee Awards ceremony.

The Jubilee Awards celebrate people who have lived in Campbelltown for 50 years or more, and for 30 years or more for members of the city’s First Nations community.

Each recipient was presented with an award and certificate from Mayor of Campbelltown Darcy Lound at a ceremony this week.

“It is incredible to think of the tremendous growth that Campbelltown has undergone over the past 50 years, and each and every one of these award recipients have helped to make our city a better place to live in,” Cr Lound said.

“The Jubilee Awards are our way to show Campbelltown’s gratitude towards those people who have been an integral part of our community for a long time,” he said.

“I’d like to offer my congratulations and thanks to each of these amazing award recipients.”

  • Lorraine Barrington – 50 years
