Australia Day Long Weekend
Sutherland Shire Council acknowledges Australia Day carries different meanings for every member of our community.
We have chosen a program of events to be reflective of the Australia Day Council theme: Reflect, Respect, Celebrate.
Commencing with a Sunset Cultural Ceremony and including major concerts, outdoor cinemas and pool parties at our Leisure Centres, we’re delivering an epic program for our community over four days.
See our full program of events.

Seniors Festival
Seniors Festival is our chance to thank, celebrate and recognise seniors for the positive contributions they make to the community through hosting a range of different activities that they can enjoy with other like-minded residents. The Seniors Festival is usually held in March - April each year.

Anzac Day
Anzac Day is a time when we traditionally come together to reflect on the extraordinary sacrifices our countrymen and women have made in times of conflict. At Council, we are committed to honouring the many local servicemen and women who have served and continue to serve our nation here and abroad.
We invite our community to honour and acknowledge our Australian servicemen and women and the Anzac spirit by attending services or joining broadcasts of services by our local RSLs or the Australian National War Memorial. Lest We Forget.
Youth Week
Come together and get involved with your community during Youth Week. Share your ideas and views on issues important to you, showcase your talents, plus enjoy a variety of fun events and activities. In partnership with our local Youth Services and Youth Reference Group. Youth Week is usually held in April each year.
