“These awards acknowledge and celebrate those who participate in sport across our city and the very important people who make that participation possible,” Cr Fechner said.
“Sport provides tremendous benefit to our community, contributing to a more active and healthier Ipswich and encouraging social connection and cohesion.
“Council is proud to host the 2022 Ipswich Sports Award which continues our support of sport across the city that includes more than 60 council sporting facilities that welcome more than 150 clubs and organisations.”

- Masters Sportsperson of the Year
- Team of the Year
- Sporting Organisation of the Year
- Coach of the Year
- Official of the Year

“I encourage community members to nominate an athlete dedicated to doing their best, a team that’s had an exceptional year, a referee who blows the whistle every week so the match can be played, or a club legend for their tireless behind-the-scenes efforts to nurture and nourish local sport and athletes,” Cr Fechner said.
“Winners in each category will also receive $2,000 prize money.”
Nominations for the 2022 Ipswich Sports Awards close 21 August.
