Welcome to our new citizens

Woollahra Council’s final citizenship ceremonies for 2024 were held last week at Council Chambers in Double Bay, and were the first at which I have had the honour of conferring citizenship as Mayor of Woollahra.

It is an absolute privilege to share such an important occasion with our residents, and a wonderful opportunity to learn about their backgrounds and welcome them to our community. Our new citizens came to us from 18 different countries – a great example of the diversity in our local area.

Congratulations on this significant step in your lives.

Double Bay Christmas Festival

Whether you're searching for the perfect Christmas gift, planning a family day out or simply looking to enjoy some festive entertainment in one of Sydney's most beautiful settings, Steyne Park in Double Bay is the place to be this Saturday 30 November.

Woollahra Council is a proud supporter of the Double Bay Christmas Festival, a free community celebration which will run from 11am to 8pm and feature over 100 market stalls offering unique gifts, artisanal products and festive treats, gourmet food and refreshments, plus a petting zoo, face painting and Santa photos.
From 6.30pm, a Christmas concert will include entertainment by Hugh Sheridan, Paulini, Chris Sebastian, and the Diamanté Duo, culminating in a dazzling fireworks display over Double Bay.

Spring Book Fair

We keep our Libraries full of everything that members might want, but we occasionally run out of shelf space for new additions, so the wonderful reads we can no longer keep become available for you to purchase!

Come grab a bargain on thousands of great books at our Spring Book Fair. From cooking to philosophy, crime thrillers to picture books, there's something for everyone, with all books priced from $1 to $5.

Saturday 30 November and Sunday 1 December, 10am-4pm at Woollahra Library, 451 New South Head Road, Double Bay.
