Dates and Occasions of Celebration and Significance

BBS_Australia_Day

The Dates and Occasions of Celebration and Significance Policy and Assessment Framework aim to provide a clear process and supporting framework to guide Council’s strategic approach to dates and occasions of significance.

Prioritisation of dates and occasions of significance via a tiered approach and assessment framework:

  • allows for the recognition of our diverse community,
  • ensures a strategic approach to Council’s investment, and
  • enables the appropriate allocation of resources to achieve the best outcomes for the community.

The current Calendar of Dates and Occasions can be viewed here(PDF, 92KB).

Baw Baw Shire Council is proud to illuminate our iconic West Gippsland Arts Centre forecourt in colour to promote awareness of significant causes, publicise days of recognised significance or public events that may affect our community.
