As the year ends, East Gippsland Shire Mayor Cr John White wishes East Gippsland community a joyful Christmas, a safe New Year, and a season of kindness, reflection, and support for local businesses and charities.
As we near the end of the year, I want to extend my warmest wishes to everyone in our wonderful community for a joyful Christmas and a safe, happy start to 2025. Christmas and the New Year are times for celebration, reflection, and connection. Whether you're enjoying the great outdoors, relaxing at home or gathering with loved ones, I hope this season brings you peace, laughter and treasured moments.

Community spirit shines
Let's also remember those who may be facing challenges or spending the holidays away from family. A simple act of kindness - a friendly chat, an invitation to share a meal, or lending a helping hand - can brighten someone's day. Our community has always shown incredible care for one another, and I couldn't be prouder to see this spirit in action.
If you're ticking off your Christmas shopping list, consider supporting our local small businesses. They're the heart and soul of East Gippsland, and your support means so much to them. And for those looking to give back, local charities are doing incredible work and would welcome your generosity.
Resilience and progress
This year has brought challenges, but it's also been one of resilience, progress and celebration. Together, we've achieved great things, from rebuilding after natural disasters to completing exciting projects that enrich our community.
To all those working over the holidays - emergency services, healthcare teams, and many others - thank you for your dedication. Let's also make our visitors feel welcome this summer, sharing the hospitality that makes East Gippsland so special. On behalf of the councillors and staff, I wish you and your families a safe, peaceful, and joy-filled Christmas and New Year.
