Special welcome to our newest citizens

Member for Gosford Liesl Tesch broke out her Mariners scarf as she welcomed many new residents became Australian citizens at a Central Coast Council Citizenship Ceremony at The Art House, Wyong. Tesch said the event was uplifting and fantastic to attend.

“This is always such a joyous occasion for families, friends and our newest citizens who have chosen Australia as the place they wish to call home,” she said.

“Congratulations to all new Australian citizens on making their commitment to Australia and its values.

“I wish all the happiness in the world to our new citizens and their families as they embark on their new journey as Australian citizens.

“It is a remarkable achievement that they should be immensely proud of.

“Both Council Administrator, Rik Hart, and I wore our

Mariners scarves to the ceremony in support of our local team’s recent success.”

Citizenship ceremonies are held throughout the year on the Central Coast and see local residents take the pledge of commitment.

It is the final step before becoming an Australian citizen.

“A special welcome to those who have become new citizens in the beautiful electorate of Gosford,” Tesch said.

“It is a privilege to represent you.”
