Mayor Marianne Saliba will unveil a new permanent exhibition of the Shellharbour City Hall of Fame this Friday at the Civic Centre.

The Shellharbour City Hall of Fame was established in 1988 as a way to celebrate and recognise individuals within the Shellharbour City Local Area who have made significant achievements and contributions in their field of endeavour.

The new exhibition displays Hall of Fame recipients and their outstanding achievements across a diverse range of fields including Government, Community Services, Industry/Business, Inventions, The Arts, Science and Sport and Recreation.

Previous inductees include cricketers Shane and Brett Lee, inventor Evelyn Owen, noted vascular surgeon Dr Vernon Allen James OAM, agriculturalist and pastoralist Henry Osborne and former Australian rugby union player and former Wallabies captain Geoff ‘Bunter’ Shaw.

Shellharbour Mayor Marianne Saliba said that Council was committed to recognising individuals and families with a strong association to Shellharbour City and who have attained significant prominence in their particular field.

“The Hall of Fame is a fantastic community resource and source of civic pride that can inspire current and future residents to strive for their own dreams and aspirations,” Cr Saliba said.

“Nominations are also now being called for new inductees into the Hall of Fame, and I would like to encourage residents that know any local individuals worthy of such an honourable position to make a nomination,” she said.
