Welcoming our newest Glen Eira citizens

Belated New Year greetings to all! Hope everyone had an enjoyable break.

The first council meeting will be on Tuesday Feb 2nd with activities and events getting into full swing next week.

One of the most enjoyable events as a councillor to attend is the regular Citizenship Ceromonies that take place every 6-8 weeks throughout the year. These nights are certainly an important event to celebrate, acknowledge and welcome our newest citizens. This Australia Day approximately two hundred residents at the town hall will become Australian citizens.

For many this is the culmination of a long journey and it is always a pleasure to be be a part of this ceromony and chat with participants over refreshments after.

- The diversity and cultural heritage of all in our community in Glen Eira is certainly something to be celebrated and valued!
