Nominate a young Queenslander

HINKLER residents have until January 29 next year to nominate someone they know for the Queensland Young Achiever Awards.

Member for Hinkler Keith Pitt said the Wide Bay Burnett region was fortunate to be home to some incredibly inspiring young people, who deserve recognition.

"The purpose of these awards is to acknowledge the contribution young people make, but also to encourage others to follow in their footsteps," he said.
