Celebrating Volunteers- the Heart of Our Community

Council is looking forward to joining our wonderful volunteers and the community to celebrate National Volunteers Week, 19–25 May 2025. The week is Australia’s largest annual event recognising the vital role of volunteers in our communities.

To mark the occasion and thank our local volunteers, Council will be hosting a free community event including a barbeque lunch, scones provided by the Country Women’s Association and live music from BaccBeat Jazz Band on Friday 23 May between 11:30am and 1pm.

Everyone is welcome to attend, and community members are encouraged to register their attendance by calling 5367 7100 or visiting https://www.trybooking.com/DAOKF

“It’s wonderful to have a dedicated yearly week for our volunteers, to take the time to recognise and celebrate the valuable contributions they make to our local community,” Mayor Cr Paul Tatchell said.

“We have volunteers across all aspects of life in Moorabool – from our visitor information centre workers, our committees of management representatives, sporting groups, community groups – there are volunteers throughout Moorabool who are making a very positive difference to people’s lives.”

“We are always welcoming new volunteers so if you’re interested  in supporting your local community through volunteering, a good place to start is the volunteering page on Council’s website, where you’ll find local groups, current opportunities, and information on how to register your interest,” Cr Tatchell said.
