Mark Australia Day in Moorabool Shire

MOORABOOL Shire Council is inviting the community to come together and recognise Australia Day with a series of events in Ballan.

On Sunday 26 January, there will be musical entertainment, a proclamation from the Town Crier, the Australia Day awards presentation and an Australian citizenship ceremony from 9.30am.

The awards will celebrate the contributions of people and community groups in the Shire in the categories of citizen of the year, young citizen of the year and community event of the year.

Everyone is welcome to attend the presentation.

“Council will be conducting an Australia Day Awards presentation for citizen of the year, young citizen of the year, community event of the year and certificates of achievement,” a Moorabool Shire Council spokesperson said.

“We hope people come together to celebrate the achievements of our Australia Day recipients and their contributions to the Shire, and welcome the new citizens to our Shire.

“Australia Day Awards provide an opportunity to formally acknowledge individuals or events that have made outstanding contributions to the Shire, or given outstanding service to the local communities.”
