NEW RESIDENT NIGHT SET TO WELCOME COMMUNITY MEMBERS
New to the Dubbo Region? Come along to the New Resident Night on 10 March at the Western Plains Cultural 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 chat with others who are new to the area.
This is the first event for 2025.
“I’d encourage all new residents to attend the New Resident Night and get to know your new community. We really want to make you feel welcome and at home in Dubbo Region, and we’re excited to have you here,” Dubbo Regional Council Mayor Josh Black said.
“I can’t wait to meet all newcomers and hear about your stories and why you chose this incredible region as your new home.”
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.
Maraia Meo and her family moved to Dubbo in 2024 and attended a New Resident Night held at the Dubbo Regional Theatre and Convention Centre last year.
“The New Resident Night gave me an opportunity to meet other people who had just moved to the region and explore the amazing array of businesses and social clubs we have here.”
“I really enjoyed having a chat to people that had also made the move to the region. It was a great evening and a must-do event for everyone that now calls Dubbo Region home,” Ms Maraia said.
While the evening is free, registration is required for catering purposes with light refreshments available.
Those interested in attending can visit dubbo.com.au/live/new-resident-enquiry.
DRC also provides a New Resident Guide that can be viewed at dubbo.com.au/live.
The Dubbo Region New Resident Guide is packed with essential information to help residents settle into their new region and connect with the local community.
