City of Rockingham lifeguard Jordan Morton named young volunteer of year at awards night

A lifeguard who clocked up more than 200 volunteer hours in just two seasons and the keeper of the history of Native Plants WA were among outstanding community champions recognised for their positive impact in Rockingham.

The City of Rockingham’s 2025 Volunteer Recognition Awards were held at the Gary Holland Community Centre last Wednesday.

The awards recognise people who make outstanding contributions to the city, often above and beyond normal employment.

More than 45 nominations were received, with 28 finalists invited to the awards evening.

Mayor Deb Hamblin said she was struck by the dedication and passion each recipient had shown toward helping others.

“As mayor, I feel humbled and privileged to lead a city so rich in generosity and civic spirit,” Ms Hamblin said.

“Our volunteers remind us of the power of compassion in action.

“This year’s National Volunteer Week theme, Connecting Communities, couldn’t be more fitting. These individuals go beyond volunteering; they are expert connectors, community builders and knowledge sharers.”
