Australia Day celebrations bring residents together

City of Gosnells residents, including some of Australia’s newest citizens, came together in the heart of Gosnells to celebrate what it means to be Australian at the City’s annual Australia Day Big Breakfast.

The crowd enjoyed a jam-packed morning of live entertainment, a delicious breakfast from the Rotary Club, face painting, games, crafts, activities and native animal displays at the free event, at the Centennial Pioneer Park Amphitheatre.

“It was great to see people from different cultures and backgrounds come together to celebrate Australia Day at our Big Breakfast event right here in Gosnells,” Mayor Terresa Lynes said.

“The City is proud to bring free events like the Big Breakfast to the local community, to bring local residents and families together for a fun day out and promote a sense of unity, harmony and inclusion.”

More than 120 new Australian citizens were welcomed at a citizenship ceremony in the adjacent Gosnells Town Square.

Joined by the City’s Australia Day Ambassador Julian Pace, Mayor Lynes congratulated the new residents and 2025 Community Citizen of the Year Awards recipients.

The City of Gosnells Community Citizen of the Year Awards are run in partnership with Auspire, the Australia Day Council of Western Australia.
