Member for Kiama Gareth Ward has presented Peter Dover with a Premier’s Community Commendation for his outstanding work within the Shoalhaven community and specifically his work with the vulnerable through charity Salt Care.
‘’Peter is someone who wakes up every day with one objective: caring for our community’s most vulnerable.
There are few that can say they change lives every single day, but Peter does exactly that,” Mr Ward said.
“Peter’s work and dedication to our community is worthy of the highest recognition and I’m proud that the NSW Government accepted my recommendation to recognise Peter with this award.
‘‘I have known Peter for many years, and I have seen how his work has literally saved lives. I know Peter has an incredible team around him and this award is also recognition of their collective efforts.
“I have enjoyed working alongside Peter both as the Minister that covers his area and as a local MP concerned about housing and supports for the vulnerable.
Whilst I’m sure Peter would acknowledge there are growing challenges, Peter continues to work hard to do as much as he possibly can to meet those challenges. His work and results are commendable.
Mr Dover said he was humbled and honoured to receive this recognition that came as a total surprise to him.
“It is a great honour to receive the Premier’s Community Commendation,’’ Mr Dover said.
“At Salt, we are dedicated to supporting the disadvantaged and helping to restore their lives. It is our great privilege to dedicate our efforts into this valuable work.
“This award is a testament to the entire Salt team, who tirelessly breathe hope intothe Shoalhaven community,’’ Mr Dover concluded.
