Cultural Diversity

On 27 September 2023, Council adopted the Cultural Diversity and Inclusion Statement(PDF, 91KB).

The Cultural Diversity and Inclusion Statement has been developed in consultation with internal and external stakeholders, community groups and agencies. The statement was informed by reviewing Council’s actions as a signatory to Refugee Welcome Zones and recent community events held for Cultural Diversity Week and Refugee Week.

Embrace The Journey, Shape Our Future

The 2025 theme, 'Embrace the Journey, Shape Our Future’ highlights the unique and shared cultural journeys that define our diverse communities, encouraging us to honour our own cultural stories and those of others, fostering understanding, belonging and connection.

Thank you to Loddon Campaspe Multicultural Services for partnering with us to deliver two cross-cultural awareness training sessions in March, providing an oppotunity for participants to learn, grow, and embrace differences in behavior, appearance, and culture.
