The Caloundra Electorate is a community of communities. We cover all the way from Kings Beach to Landsborough, Beerwah, and across to Nirimba.
I know that our local Community Groups and Clubs are the backbone of our Caloundra and Hinterland community, which is why we celebrate the wonderful work they do through the annual Caloundra Community Awards.
Our first annual 2023 Awards were a hit with so many locals nominating their favourite clubs and thousands of votes. Thank you to all of the wonderful people that voted and for our local club members for coming along on the day. Our biggest thanks goes to the Queensland Air Museum for hosting us all for the awards on the day - what a great venue.
Our winners and runners up for this year are listed below.
