Mayor's Message
Stage set for superb Senior's Festival
Sutherland Shire Council is dedicated to helping seniors stay active, social, and connected, ensuring they continue to enjoy all our community has to offer. One of our key annual events that supports this is Sutherland Shire’s Seniors Festival, a two-week celebration of the incredible contributions of our seniors.
The festival features a variety of free events and workshops for all interests. There are some amazing events lined up at our much-loved Hazelhurst Arts Centre, including a guided tour of ARTEXPRESS, as well as plenty of activities for those looking to get outdoors and get active including an aqua aerobics session and a ‘Mindfulness Gardening Workshop’.
This year’s Expo will include a host of informative and engaging sessions providing a range of information for local seniors get the most out of life in our community whether they are seeking aged care accommodation, looking for ways to stay supported at home or join groups or activities to stay connected.
The celebrations continue beyond the official festival with the highly anticipated Seniors Festival Concert at The Pavilion Performing Arts Centre on 27 March. Due to popular demand, we’re offering two performances, with bookings open from 6 March – head to Council’s website for more details.
Additionally, the annual Centenarians Morning Tea is approaching. If you know a centenarian who would like to participate, please contact us at shireevents@ssc.nsw.gov.au or call (02) 9710 0161.

We look forward to celebrating with you and making this year’s Seniors Festival the best one yet!
