Council has signed a Refugee Welcome Zone declaration for the Pyrenees Shire. 

Becoming a Refugee Welcome Zone is one way that Council can demonstrate its support and welcome for the settlement of refugees and new migrants into our region.

It can also assist in raising awareness in our communities of issues affecting refugees and promote an appreciation of cultural diversity.

Mayor Tanya Kehoe signed the declaration on World Migrant Day at our afternoon tea at the Beaufort Community Resource Centre.
