HORSHAM REGIONAL ART GALLERY
The Horsham Regional Art Gallery provides an important visual-art resource for the local community and visitors to Horsham. The Horsham Regional Art Gallery is supported by a team of volunteers who provided approximately 1,000 hours of volunteering this year.
SUPPORTED PLAYGROUPS
Horsham Rural City Council co-ordinates three supported playgroups including a migrant playgroup. Supported playgroup sessions run throughout school terms and their success is reliant upon the support of volunteers who assist the co-ordinator to deliver these important programs to the community.
MULTIPLE BIRTH FAMILIES SUPPORT PROGRAM
The Multiple Birth Families Support Program assists families at home after a multiple birth. Volunteers support this program by assisting with feeding, bathing, nappy changes, hanging out washing and playing with siblings.
COMMUNITY ARTS
There is a team of volunteers who support the community arts area of Council by assisting with poster distribution, show promotions and administration.
COMMITTEES
Horsham Rural City Council has 36 management committees within the municipality that oversee the operations of public facilities such as recreation reserves, halls and the arts. There are also a number of advisory committees in operation. Approximately 300 community members volunteer their valuable time and expertise on these committees and we sincerely thank them for their important contribution.
CEREMONIES Australian citizenship is an important step for people from other countries who have made the choice to call Australia their home. Becoming an Australian citizen means that they are making an ongoing commitment to Australia and all that our country stands for.
Horsham Rural City Council is proud to conduct citizenship ceremonies on behalf of the Department of Immigration and Citizenship.
Citizenship ceremonies are held as part of the annual Australia Day celebrations at Sawyer Park in Horsham (see page 23). In addition, Council holds citizenship ceremonies on a regular basis at the Civic Centre Municipal Offices during Council meetings.
During the past year, 32 new residents in our municipality made the pledge to become Australian citizens. Our new citizens will enhance the culture and diversity of our community and we warmly welcome them to our municipality.
