Tanya Davies MP, Member for Badgerys Creek has announced Theresa Quattromani as the 2025 Badgerys Creek Local Woman of the Year.

Mrs Davies was pleased to present Mrs Quattromani with the award, which was in recognition of her outstanding service to the community as a volunteer for many local groups and initiatives over decades, including as a co-ordinator of the Horsley Park Community Social Group for 25 years, in which she has organised monthly social outings, weekends away and overseas trips.

Since 2003, Mrs Quattromani has held an annual Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea community fundraiser, attracting over 250 members from the community each year, raising a total of almost $500,000.

In 2008, Mrs Quattromani established the Horsley Park Community Craft Group, which provides friendship and support.

In presenting Mrs Quattromani the award, Mrs Davies also recognised Mrs Quattromani’s care for the sick and elderly through Our Lady of Victories Parish Church, Horsley Park and an initiative in which a local GP refers lonely or isolated members to Mrs Quattromani who contacts them and encourages and assists them to join their social activities.

Mrs Quattromani’s service to the community also includes her support of the Fire Services Team, which has involved tasks from fundraising to mending uniforms. She has assisted the organisation of the annual Parish Feast, having served on the committee for several years and always on hand to help where needed.

Her long list of service to the community has also involved assisting in the sewing of costumes for the Good Friday Procession over 30 years ago and helping each year with the co-ordination of preparing the children participating in this major annual event.

In presenting the award to Mrs Quattromani, Mrs Davies was joined by her nominator Josephine Borg, the 2022 Mulgoa Local Woman of the Year.

Mrs Davies commended Mrs Quattromani for her extraordinary and continued service to the community.

Mrs Davies stated, “I’m pleased to recognise and celebrate the amazing volunteering and care that Mrs Quattromani has consistently provided to our community over many decades.”

Mrs Quattromani stated, “It is nice to be recognised but I do what I do from the bottom of my heart.”

“On behalf of my electorate of Badgerys Creek, I thank Mrs Quattromani and I congratulate her on this well-deserved award,” concluded Mrs Davies.
