Congratulations to Sylvana Mahmic of Marrickville, New South Wales who has been awarded joint Inner West Council Citizen of the Year.

Sylvana is CEO of Plumtree, a not-for-profit organisation that provides support for young children ages birth to 8 years old with a developmental delay or disability and their families.
