Australia Day: One Inclusive And United Regional Event

This Australia Day, for the first time, all official regional events will take place at the Proserpine Entertainment Centre, bringing the region together for the Australia Day Family Fun Day.

The event will take place from 10am to 1pm and will feature live music and performances, free family fun activities, a jumping castle, face painting, food trucks and more.

There will also be the Australia Day Awards and a Citizenship Ceremony which have been brought together this year as “one inclusive and united regional event”.

“Hosting one regional event allows us to duly honour high achievers and community members that are dedicated to making the Whitsundays a better place,” said a Whitsunday Regional Council spokesperson.

“The location for this event will be rotated between our townships each year allowing us to share the Australian Day celebrations across the whole region.”

If you would like to celebrate Australia Day with the community and enjoy some free family friendly activities, then make sure you head down to the Proserpine Entertainment Centre next Thursday.
