It is with great pride and deep respect that I recognise Domenic Pezzano as the Leppington Senior of the Year for the 2025 NSW Seniors Local Achievement Awards. Domenic has served as president of the Leppington Progress Association since 2018, dedicating countless hours to advocating for the community across all three levels of government. His leadership has driven major improvements to the Leppington Progress Hall, from upgraded facilities to enhanced safety and accessibility. Domenic's efforts go far beyond infrastructure. He is a connecter and community communicator, managing the association's Facebook page to keep residents informed and heard, and guiding locals to the right avenues for support. As a valued member of the Camden Local Planning Panel since 2022, Domenic continues to represent community interests with integrity and insight. When the future of the St Mary Mother of God church at Leppington was uncertain, Domenic stepped in to help preserve its place in our community. I congratulate Domenic on all his work.
