“It’s a great honour that all of these people have chosen our part of the world to live in,” Cr McRae said. 

“We have so much to offer our residents with our work opportunities, lifestyle and welcoming communities, just to name a few of the benefits.

“I wish all of our new citizens every success in the future and hope you enjoy your new life with us in the Murrumbidgee area,” she said.

Family and friends were on hand to witness the historic occasion.
