Civic Awards Panel Committee

Central Hawke’s Bay District 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 1990 Commission to mark the NZ 1990 year.

Since its inception,a Civic Honours Award has been presented on an annual basis. In 2019 the Civic Honours Award Panel sought to broaden the way it was acknowledging and celebrating service within the District.

The award (pending adoption of a policy by Council) now provides for multiple acknowledgements of Community Services through a Certificate of Recognition, with the most prestigious honours awarded as the Civic Honours Award.

A Selection Panel will form a Committee and consist of the Mayor, two Councillors and two citizens, and shall be confirmed by Council following the triennial election for a three-year term and have the power to act in making the awards.

Her Worship the Mayor, Councillor  Gerard Minehan, Councillor Pip Burne.

The two citizen representatives will be Group President of the CHB Women’s Institute (or a replacement nominated by the CHB Women’s Institute), and an additional citizen appointed by Council currently Teresa Murdoch.
