Countdown to the South Burnett’s Australia Day celebrations
South Burnett Regional Council will mark Australia Day on Friday 26 January 2024, with a special citizenship ceremony.
Acting Mayor Gavin Jones said the citizenship ceremony will be one of the highlights of Australia Day 2024 events, as 22 local residents will join thousands of migrants across the country to become Australia’s newest citizens during the 75th anniversary of Australian citizenship.
“It’s an unforgettable moment for everyone involved, from the new citizens pledging their loyalty to Australia and starting an exciting new chapter in their lives, to those of us welcoming them to our community during a special year marking 75 years of Australian citizenship,” said Cr Jones.
The ceremony will take place at the Kingaroy Scout Den. Acting Mayor Gavin Jones will preside over the ceremony.
