Celebrations for Australia Day

2024 Australia Day and Survival Day Schedule of Events – Reflect | Respect | Celebrate

Moree Plains Shire Council recognises the varied ways in which members of our community choose to observe 26 January. It is a date that holds different meanings for different individuals. For our First Nations, it is a day of mourning and one that brings mixed feelings and for others, it is a day to come together to celebrate what we love about being Australian.  

Council values the richness of our community, understanding that opinions on the historical events associated with 26 January may differ widely. In fostering an environment and working towards reconciliation, Council supports openness and inclusivity, and encourages meaningful discussion and the exchange of ideas, allowing for a deeper understanding and respect of each other's viewpoints.

The Moree Plains community and visitors are encouraged to participate in the 2024 Friday 26 January events.
