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.
