Independently Owned, Locally Grown, Community Loved
Mackay Regional Council welcomed 118 new Aussie citizens at a ceremony last Friday night on Australian Citizenship Day.
The celebration, held at the MECC, honoured the values of diversity and equality within Australia and welcomed a new generation of Australians, acknowledging the value and greatness that they will be adding to the nation.
The new Aussie citizens came from 25 countries around the world. Since counting began, 109 countries have been represented at Mackay Regional Council ceremonies.
Each new citizen received a free native plant to mark the occasion.
