NEW RESIDENTS’ NIGHT MAKING THE MOVE TO THE DUBBO REGION EASIER
Anyone who has moved to the Dubbo Region is invited to attend a New Residents Night on 22 May at the Dubbo Regional Theatre and Convention Centre.
Dubbo Regional Council (DRC) hosts the event every six months to allow those who have moved to the local government area an opportunity to gather, meet with local services and facilities and meet others who are also new to the area.
This is the first event for 2024.
“If you are a new resident, someone who has moved to the Dubbo Region or someone who has lived here for a while but doesn’t know much about our region, then we encourage you to come along and have some fun,” Dubbo Regional Council Mayor Mathew Dickerson said.
“I always enjoy these events, getting to see all the new faces, hear their stories and learn about their reasons for moving to the Dubbo Region.”
While providing the opportunity to officially welcome new residents to the region, the events also provide those who have moved to the area the opportunity to meet with representatives of local community organisations, including service clubs, volunteer groups and sporting clubs.
Hannah Lyons-Uhl moved to Dubbo from Sydney in 2022 and attended a New Resident Night held at the Old Dubbo Gaol last year.
“The New Resident Night was perfect timing for me as it was only a week after I moved to Dubbo from Sydney.
“I really enjoyed seeing all the local businesses and having a chat to people that had also made the move to Dubbo, getting their tips and tricks for setting myself up in the city,” Ms Lyons-Uhl said.
“It was also great to speak with the library and get my membership sorted and also talk to a group of people from the cultural centre about the services they offered and the events and activities that were upcoming that I could go and take part in.”
While the evening is free, registration is required for catering purposes with light refreshments available.
