Moyne endorses events and recognised days
MOYNE Shire Council has endorsed its Council Corporate Events and Council Recognised Days calendar for 2026/27, strengthening its commitment to inclusion, community wellbeing, cultural engagement and civic participation across the shire.
The endorsed calendar provides a clear and transparent framework for the corporate events and significant days council will deliver, support or recognise throughout the year, helping the community better understand how council marks important social, cultural and civic occasions.
Mayor councillor Jordan Lockett said the endorsement highlights the value of events and recognised days in bringing communities together.
“These events and recognised days celebrate the diversity in our community, acknowledge important moments and issues and help build pride and connection across Moyne,” he said.
“Endorsing this calendar also ensures council can plan and deliver these activities in a consistent, transparent and well-resourced way.”
Council Corporate Events are delivered by council, or in partnership with community groups, and include citizenship ceremonies, Seniors Festival, Anzac Day and Remembrance Day services, International Women’s Day, Harmony Day, National Reconciliation Week and 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, among others.
Council Recognised Days reflect council priorities and areas of focus and may be acknowledged through activities such as social media promotion, flag displays or building lighting.
These include NAIDOC Week, National Sorry Day, Wear It Purple Day, World Mental Health Day, World Refugee Day and Pride Month.
The full 2026/27 Council Corporate Events and Recognised Days calendar will be published on council’s website and promoted through council communication channels.
