Welcome to Our Newest Australians!

Strathbogie Shire Council was proud to officially welcome eight new Australian citizens at a heartwarming ceremony held earlier this week.

The citizenship ceremony celebrated the journeys of individuals and families who have chosen to call Strathbogie Shire home, with new citizens originating from across the globe – including the United Kingdom, Brazil, China, South Africa, the United States and Sri Lanka.

Mayor Claire Ewart-Kennedy said citizenship ceremonies are among the most uplifting and memorable events in Council’s calendar.

A particularly touching moment came when a Strathbogie Shire Council staff member took the citizenship pledge alongside his young daughter – the youngest new citizen of the day – marking a beautiful celebration of both family and community.

Strathbogie Shire Council is honoured to be part of each new citizen’s journey and proud to stand beside them as they begin this exciting new chapter in their lives.
