Interfaith/Intercultural calendar

Melton is a vibrant city, celebrated for its cultural diversity and dynamic communities, and Melton City Council is dedicated to creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome and valued, regardless of their background.

We prioritise community engagement and partnerships, encouraging residents to actively participate in shaping our City’s future. Our goal is to build a thriving, harmonious, and inclusive community for all who live here. 

2025 Interfaith / Intercultural Calendar

Melton City Council provides different platforms where individuals and community groups from diverse backgrounds can learn more about the value, beliefs and traditions of their neighbour, and also be supported to educate other residents about their own culture. These platforms will promote further understanding and connection in the community.

This year's Interfaith and Intercultural Calendar is centred around significant cultural and religious dates throughout the year.  Serving as a guide for the community, the calendar facilitates a better understanding, acknowledgment, and respect for the holidays of friends, neighbours, employees, and co-workers. The intention is to promote a shared cultural awareness that contributes to the creation of a more cohesive and supportive community where everyone feels at home. 

My Dream is the theme of this year’s calendar featuring 12 community members who have significantly contributed to making the City of Melton inclusive and welcoming.

It showcases individuals sharing their pride in our diversity, and their dreams for our community’s future  and aligning with the Council's overarching vision - A vibrant, safe, and liveable City accessible to all. For more details visit: My Dream webpage.
