Shirley Brown – Planning & Economic Department


Shirley first started with Horsham City Council on 12 September 1988 as an Inspectorial Receptionist Typist and on 30 August 1995 (amalgamation) was appointed Executive Assistant for the Planning and Economic Development Department. Shirley maintains a strong interest in the Building Department and has a wealth of experience she brings to that area.


Denise Lawson – Home Care Denise commenced with Horsham City Council in 1988.


Denise is a consistent worker and still has clients who, when they initially came to the Home Care service, became Denise’s clients and still are today. Denise is a dedicated employee who cares for her clients and their needs.


Catheryn Allen – Records Department


Catheryn is a committed and dedicated employee who effectively and efficiently manages the Records Department providing a solid base to the organisation’s corporate activities.


The number and complexity of Freedom of Information requests to Council have increased greatly in recent years and Catheryn handles these often difficult requests with professionalism and good judgement.

In early 2013, Council launched a monthly Staff Excellence Award scheme to reward staff who have gone above and beyond in their day-to-day job. Awardees are nominated by their co-workers. The purpose of the program is to recognise outstanding full-time, part-time and causal staff who embody Council’s standards for excellence and customer service based on values including collaboration, accountability, responsiveness and efficiency.


In addition to these values, the awards recognise those employees who show exemplary individual achievement, contribution, and performance in their jobs and other related duties beyond their own, in an effort to make the workplace more efficient and welcoming to co-workers and customers.


Council also seeks to acknowledge those whose efforts have inspired and supported the performance and achievement of others.


During the past year, the following people have been presented with staff awards.
