NEW CITIZENS WELCOMED AS PART OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT WEEK

The Great Lakes’ newest Australian citizens were officially welcomed this morning.
The ceremony was part of Local Government Week celebrations, and for many, it was a day they’d been dreaming of for years.
“Who wouldn’t want to be an Australian citizen it’s an amazing country, it’s an amazing government and a great place to live.”
“It just gives you that security that you know you can establish your roots here and and move on with your life with a bit of security.”
This year’s Local Government Week theme, ‘Active All Areas’, highlights the need for councils to work with community members of all ages and cultures.
