- Intergenerational Understanding;
- Environment/Science/Agriculture;
- Health and Wellbeing;

“The Ballina Electorate has a wealth of worthy contenders for each of the categories and I hope that the local community will get behind the Awards to show their appreciation of our local older people,” Mr Page said.
