Baw Baw Shire welcomes 55 new citizens this Australia Day Published on 27 January 2023 Baw Baw Shire has proudly welcomed 55 new citizens to our community, at a ceremony held as part of Council’s Australia Day festivities.   Held at the West Gippsland Arts Centre, the 2023 Australia Day Citizenship ceremony bestowed citizenship on a diverse range of conferees of all ages and backgrounds, with our newest Australians hailing from as far and wide as Argentina, China, Denmark, Finland, Germany, India, Iran, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Pakistan, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Turkey, United Kingdom and the United States of America.   Marking the final step in their journey to becoming an Australian Citizen, the ceremony allowed recipients to take the citizenship pledge and receive their official certificate of Australian Citizenship under the officiation of Deputy Mayor Cr Michael Leaney and Cr Peter Kostos.   Each year, Baw Baw Shire is lucky enough to welcome a growing number of citizens choosing to call our Shire their new home, with more than 130 individuals gaining their citizenship in 2022 alone.  “We are particularly proud that so many new citizens have chosen to live here in Baw Baw Shire”, says Deputy Mayor Cr Michael Leaney.
