It was announced on Friday 14th August via Email from the Yandaarra Committee (CHCC) that the name will be changed to the “Yandaarra Aboriginal Community Awards”. it has been stated by the committee that 46.34% of the Survey and Consultations were in favour of the decision. 29.27% not in support and 24.39% other. Evidence hasn’t been provided.

This Awards Night has been called the “Grace Roberts Community Development Awards” for 20 Years and the CHCC would now like to change it.
