Located in the Pedestrian Area of Ainslie Avenue Between London Circuit and City Walk

Introduction

Located in the pedestrian area of Ainslie Avenue between London Circuit and City Walk , the ACT Honour Walk recognises individuals or groups from across all categories of endeavour that have made significant and sustained past contributions to the ACT. ACT Honour Walk recipients are then publicly acknowledged with a plaque in their honour on the ACT Honour Walk.

It replaces and improves upon the previous Canberra Legends Civic Walk of Honour, which was located in front of the Sydney and Melbourne Buildings on London Circuit.

The award aims to recognise the immense contribution made by those who have helped to shape the city of Canberra as we know it today. This award also complements the Canberra Citizen of the Year Award that celebrates current and/or recent contributions to the Canberra community.

Any person or group who has been a leading player in shaping the city of Canberra, or who has made a significant contribution to the Canberra community over a sustained period of time, is eligible for recognition on the ACT Honour Walk. Nominees do not have to be residents of the ACT and the honour may be recognised posthumously. Preference will be given to nominees who have not already been significantly memorialised in an existing ACT public memorial.

Nominations can be received at any time throughout the year however the annual cut-off date for nominations is C.O.B. on the last day of November each year, with presentations occurring in the following March.
