Mayor Amber Kearns said the awards were an opportunity to celebrate the people who make sport such an important part of life in Mandurah.
“The talent on display is remarkable, but it’s the dedication, encouragement and teamwork behind the scenes that make local sport so strong,” she said.
“Every club has people who go above and beyond, often without expecting any recognition. This is an opportunity to thank them for everything they do.
“We have so many incredible stories across Mandurah, and I can't wait to see those achievements celebrated at this year's awards.”
The winners will be announced at the City of Mandurah Sports Awards on November 4.
