New Australian citizens will be welcomed into the Hume and Whittlesea communities today to mark Australia Day.
While Hume and Whittlesea councils won’t be holding any official Australia Day events, Hume will celebrate its newest residents during an online ceremony.
Whittlesea chief executive Craig Lloyd said the council was not hosting any official Australia Day events.
The council’s administrators decided in December 2020 to pull the pin on the city’s January 26 celebrations.
“While we are not holding any activities on January 26, our Summer Series program is running throughout January and February,” he said.
“This features smaller scale COVID-safe local music and family friendly activities across the city of Whittlesea.”
