Ms Hays said numbers at the gala were capped because of COVID, however if additional tickets became available after RSVPs were received, they would go on sale on Tuesday, January 19, until noon on Wednesday, January 20.

"These can be purchased from the MECC box office, in person or over the phone, at the cost of $30 per person," she said.

"Unfortunately, no tickets will be issued after Wednesday, January 20, at noon due to catering purposes."

The Mackay Regional Council Australia Day Awards are delivered with help from National Australia Day Council, sponsors P. Comino & Sons and Tropical Exposure as well as support from Star 101.9 Mackay.
