Celebrate Goulburn’s 160th Birthday

Published on 09 March 2023

Residents of Goulburn Mulwaree are invited and encouraged to come along this Saturday 11 March from 10am, to Belmore Park to celebrate the City of Goulburn’s 160th Birthday.

Along with the customary cutting of the cake, we will have the privilege of having local high school students address the public and 'Happy Birthday' and the 'National Anthem' will be played, as well as a live performance from the Goulburn Multicultural Centre.

“This is always a very fun event, with a particular highlight for me being the opportunity to hear from our high school students and listen to them talk about what they love about our region.” said Mayor Peter Walker.

“The Goulburn Mulwaree Award is in its second year, and we will be presenting this award on the day, recognising some of the fine citizens of our area. This local award has been created to recognise outstanding service or meritorious achievement by individuals to the community of the Goulburn Mulwaree Local Government area.”

Goulburn is Australia’s first inland city, proclaimed by Royal Letters Patent issued by Queen Victoria on 14 March 1863, when the Diocese of Goulburn was proclaimed.
