BUCHAN Point SES local controller William Sterling has been awarded the Minister’s Cup for Queensland SES Member of the Year.

Emergency Services Minister Craig Crawford said: “Being an SES volunteer isn’t any easy job; it requires hours of training, dedication to service and courage to respond in the very worst of conditions.”

Queensland Fire and Emergency Services Acting Commissioner Mike Wassing said the winners had “gone above and beyond what is expected of them and proven to be very deserving of the state’s top honours”.

“I am enormously honoured to be able to thank all of our SES volunteers,” he said.
