Australia Day Events

Australia Day is a time for us to reflect on what it means to be Australian, to respectfully acknowledge our history, and to celebrate the contribution that every Australian makes to our dynamic and contemporary nation. From our first nations people, to those who have lived here for generations, to those who have recently arrived from all over the world to call Australia home. We're all part of the story.

A number of events are hosted throughout the Shire on Australia Day which focus on recognising the incredible contributions made by our community members, with the awarding of Community Citizen of the Year Awards.  

Lake Grace

Each year the Lake Grace Lions Club hosts a free community breakfast at the Lake Grace Swimming Pool from 7.30am, which is followed by the awarding of the Community Citizen of the Year Awards.
