FREEDOM OF THE CITY

MAYOR Geordin Hill-Lewis has announced that the City will bestow its highest Civic Honour - the Freedom of the City - on two of its cultural icons, David Kramer and the late Taliep Petersen, at a forthcoming ceremony in January 2026.

The City will also award Civic Honours and Mayor’s Medals to a range of luminaries at a Council ceremony in November.
