Night of connection and community

New Residents across the Southern Grampians are invited to attend the Southern Grampians Shire Council New Residents Function on Monday 20 June 2022.

From 6:00pm at the Greater Hamilton Library, the newest members of our region will have the opportunity to connect with volunteer organisations, community groups and meet with locals.

After the previous two events were cancelled due to the pandemic, Southern Grampians Shire Council Mayor Cr Bruach Colliton said this year brings renewed opportunity for the newest members of our region to forge connections.

“It’s great to bring back the New Residents Function this year after the past two events weren’t able to go ahead due to COVID and lockdowns,” said Cr Colliton.

“This year’s event will provide a warm welcome to all newcomers. Whether you have just arrived in the Southern Grampians or if you moved here at the start of the pandemic back in 2020, you are welcome to come along and hear more about what makes this region a great place to reside.”

Volunteer organisations, recreation, and community groups are also invited to attend to provide information and answer questions new residents may have about settling in the region.

“The New Resident’s Function is the perfect evening for new faces to get involved with groups and organisations, make friends and actively find your place within our community,” concluded Cr Colliton.

The function starts from 6:00pm in the Greater Hamilton Library where light refreshments will be served.
