Weeip Park Hosts Citizenship Ceremony

It was a morning of inspiration and culture as the City of Swan celebrated local champions and welcomed 73 new citizens from 28 countries on Australia Day.

Weeip Park in Midland was buzzing as Community Citizen of the Year nominees, soon-to-be citizens and their supporters gathered for the City’s annual Australia Day citizenship ceremony.

The ceremony started with a special performance from the Midn Marr Dreaming dancers, who had guests out of their seats and dancing to the the sounds of the didgeridoo.

Mayor Tanya Richardson spoke about the late Whadjuk Noongar leader Weeip, whose name lives on at Weeip Park.
