Yesterday, Gympie welcomed 34 new Australian citizens from 16 different countries at a Citizenship Ceremony.

One new citizen shared, "I'm grateful to be in a country that feels safe. I've travelled to many countries, and Australia is the only country I haven't wanted to leave. We honour, we encourage, and we inspire everyone."

Council extends its congratulations to all new citizens and wishes them every success as they begin this exciting new chapter as Australians.

Work has begun on a major upgrade to the Jones Hill Water Treatment Plant, an important step in supporting safe and reliable drinking water for Gympie and surrounding communities 🚰

These works involve the replacement of the plant’s sedimentation tank and marks the first project to be delivered under Council's new Water Alliance. This forms part of a broader program to renew ageing infrastructure to continue to support our growing region for years to come 👏
