Westfield Local Heroes program is now open for nominations to recognise local individuals and organisations who work hard to drive positive impacts in our local community.

CENTRAL COAST MP’s David Harris, David Mehan and Liesl Tesch encourage you to acknowledge community members across the region whose work benefits our communities.

Nominations close Monday, 18 March 2024 and three finalists are chosen to go through to the community vote.

The successful hero is awarded a $20,000 grant for the organisation or group they represent, and each finalist receives a $5,000 grant for their organisation or group.

If you know someone who deserves to be recognised and supported for the positive impact they make to the local community or environment, submit a nomination form at Westfield Local Heroes.

David Harris Member for Wyong said, “Westfield Local Heroes program was established in 2018 and has made a significant difference in supporting individuals and organisations across the community.

“Let’s keep shinning the spotlight on those people in our communities making a difference.”

David Mehan Member for The Entrance said, “The Westfield Local Heroes program is a fantastic initiative to acknowledge and support locals making a positive impact in our community.”

“The opportunity to provide financial support through grants can significantly enhance the positive work being done by these local heroes.”

Liesl Tesch Member for Gosford said, “The Central Coast is full of local heroes who are doing fantastic work across the Coast, often without recognition or financial support.

“If you know a local hero, I encourage you to nominate them for the Local Heroes Program, providing well deserved recognition for the wonderful work they do in our community. Thank you to each and every local hero who looks after our community.”
