THIS week Penrith City Council recognised Penrith’s three outstanding residents named on the 2026 Australia Day Honours List.

Mayor Clr Todd Carney thanked the recipients for their contributions to the City and beyond in a special Mayoral Minute.

• Emu Plains resident Farah Madon was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) for significant service to architecture, and to people with disability.

• Regentville’s Michael Allen PSM (pictured with the Mayor) received the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) for service to the community through a range of organisations. 

• Penrith local Tony Lackey was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) for service to the community of Penrith.

Congratulations to these worthy recipients! Council will celebrate their achievements at a civic event later this year.
