Yarriambiack Shire Council would like to extend a heartfelt congratulations to Adrian Tyler on being awarded the Order of Australia Medal (OAM).
Adrian Tyler OAM was honoured as part of the Australia Day celebrations in Rupanyup - held on Monday, 26 January 2026.
This prestigious honour is a testament to Adrian’s outstanding service, dedication, and the positive impact he has made within the Rupanyup community and beyond.
Adrian Tyler OAM has been a lifelong volunteer – serving important community groups and associations, including: the Rupanyup Progress Association, the Rupanyup VFF Landcare Group, and the Rupanyup & District Men’s Shed, as well as many local sporting clubs.
