The ceremony was attended by several Councillors, Member for Hinchinbrook Nick Dametto as well as family members of the new citizens, who came together to celebrate this significant milestone.
The Hinchinbrook region values and celebrates our diversity, and Council extends its heartfelt congratulations to our new citizens and wishes them all the best in their new chapter of life.
“The decision to become an Australian Citizen is a major one. Like other major life decisions, it is a choice that involves commitment, responsibility, public recognition, celebrations of the present, and hopes for a common future” said Mayor Jayo.
