Mayor’s message The past 12 months have highlighted to us all what it means to be Australian. As recent global events have unfolded, our true Aussie spirit has shone in the ways we have supported, comforted and encouraged each other through tough times. The challenges we’ve faced have also allowed us to reflect on our Australian values, and have reminded us of how lucky we are to live in the best place in the world.This year, we are so thankful to be able to come together locally in a safe way to reflect, respect and celebrate, and share our local stories. Our amazing local heroes will be recognised and close to 130 new citizens from 21 different countries will take their pledge. The exciting line-up of activations across the weekend will allow us to collectively celebrate our community and our way of life here in beautiful Mandurah.See you there! - Rhys Williams, Mayor of Mandurah
