Today's ceremony was conducted by GSCC Mayor Cr Fern Summer.
Greater Shepparton Mayor Dennis Patterson said the day was an opportunity to reflect on the importance of citizenship as a common bond strengthening our community.
“Australian Citizenship Day is a chance for us to welcome our newest citizens and also remind ourselves of the rights and privileges of Australian citizenship,” Cr Patterson said.
“An Australian citizenship ceremony celebrates the final stage of someone’s migrant journey and represents their ongoing commitment to their adopted country and to Australian values.”
