Newly arrived migrants, including Letya Dawit, Fevan Lesanewerak and Emba Hailu (pictured with Australian Federal Police officer Dianne Wallace) got to know local emergency services and utilities providers at Werribee Open Range Zoo last week.
The visit, organised by City West Water, brought together migrants from Asia, Africa and the Middle East as part of Cultural Diversity Week.
“Not only is it a fantastic opportunity for the communities to celebrate their cultural differences, it’s also a great way for service providers and government agencies to break down barriers and build relationships with the local community,” City West Water managing director Anne Barker says.
