Neighbourhood Spirit Awards 2026

Celebrating the people who help make Moonee Valley great! 

Do you know someone who is always there to lend a helping hand? Someone who makes a positive difference to the lives of others in our community? 

It’s time to shine a light on them! 

Nominations for the Moonee Valley Neighbourhood Spirit Awards 2025 will open from Tuesday, 27 January until Friday, 20 February. 

The awards celebrate those people who have contributed to their local community, no matter how big or small – the people who help to make life in Moonee Valley the best it can be! 

Individual nominees must live in the City of Moonee Valley, while organisations or groups must be based in the City of Moonee Valley. 

The Neighbourhood Spirit Awards will be presented alongside our Citizenship Ceremony at the Clocktower Centre in May 2026.
