120 people attended this year’s Australia Day Breakfast at the Sportsmen’s Club in Derby.

It was a fantastic day all round with four Shire of Derby/West Kimberley community members taking their pledges and officially becoming Australian citizens.

We also announced the winners of our Citizen of the Year awards.  The winners included:

Senior Citizen of the Year – Fred Russ

Citizen of the Year – Kerry Leamy

Active citizenship award – Derby Rodeo Club

Young Citizen of the Year – Louise Albert

Congratulations to this year’s 14 nominees who have all been acknowledged by their local community as people that are making a positive impact within the Shire.
