Lithgow City Council welcomed nine new Australian Citizens at its latest Citizenship Ceremony despite the restrictions of Covid 19.
The ceremony was held on 5 August 2020 and saw the Hon. Andrew Gee Member for Calare and Mayor, Councillor Ray Thompson welcome new citizens to Australia and the Lithgow Local Government area as they completed the final stage in becoming an Australian Citizen.
The family and friends of the new citizens partook in a less than traditional ceremony whilst complying with the Covid 19 measures which staff had in place for their safety.
