UtilitiesThe Civic Award was established to 'Recognise Outstanding Voluntary Community Service carried out within the Central Hawke’s Bay District by an Individual’.
In addition to the long-standing Civic Honours Award, we are pleased to celebrate two other categories, the Community Service Award and the Organisation of the Year Award.
While the Civic Honours Award remains the most prestigious award, honouring those outstanding citizens in our community who, over a long period of time, have gone above and beyond to serve their community, the two new award categories provide for multiple acknowledgements of community service in varying degrees.
Central Hawke’s Bay District Council (Council) introduced its Civic Honours Award system in 1991 to enable voluntary service within the District to be duly recognised.
The Civic Honours Award was established at the initiative of the Central Hawke’s Bay Country Women’s Institute and the New Zealand 1990 Commission to mark the NZ 1990 year.
Since its inception, up to four Civic Honours Award have been presented annually. In 2019, the Civic Awards Committee sought to broaden the way it acknowledges and celebrates outstanding community service within the Central Hawke’s Bay District.
The CHB Civic Awards now provides for multiple acknowledgements of community service through two additional categories of awards — the Community Service Awards and the Community Organisation of the Year Award.
The Civic Honours Award is the most prestigious of the CHB Civic Awards and will be presented to individuals that have made an outstanding contribution to the CHB community over a long period. The Award is awarded in recognition of substantial service (usually of a voluntary nature or beyond normal employment).
Substantial service includes short term or long-term projects or activities that have benefited the Central Hawke’s Bay community, adding to the quality of life or residents.
The Civic Awards Committee may award up to four Civic Honour Awards annually.
Where determined that nominees do not quite meet the criteria for a Civic Honours Award, the Civic Awards Committee may acknowledge outstanding voluntary community service by way of a Community Service Award for the following categories:
• Community
• Social
• Cultural
• Youth
• Recreation and Sport
• Education
• Religion
• Conservation
The Civic Awards Committee will also consider other civic services not categorised above and worthy of recognition.
Eligible for this award are any group, society, trust, organisation, association, or club whose work has had a transformational impact on Central Hawke’s Bay in the following categories:
• Community
• Social
• Cultural
• Youth
• Recreation and Sport
• Education
• Religion
• Conservation
The Civic Awards Committee will also consider other civic services not categorised above and worthy of recognition.
