Attendees included emergency services, Victoria Police, Hampton Park Fire Brigade (CFA), State Emergency Services Narre Warren Unit, Ambulance Victoria, Neighbourhood Watch Casey, Australian Air League – Berwick Squadron, Vocal Performance School, Team Richards Rock n’ Roll, Gippsland Gate Radio & Electronics Club, Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, Ahmadiyya Muslim Community’s Children’s Choir, mayor Cr Stefan Koomen, Cr Michelle Crowther, Hampton Park Uniting Church, and Hampton Park Baptist Church.

“Following a long-held tradition of our 102-year-old Association, we brought our community together in harmony on Australia Day at our Free Family Friendly event,” said Luke DeLutis, president of Hampton Park Progress Association.

“We fundraise throughout the year to afford to host a free event where families, individuals and our wider community can enjoy the day without needing to break their budgets.

“We recognise that these are challenging economic times and so this is our way of supporting our community.

“We were very pleased to see so many people enjoying the day with us and we hope that even more people will join us again in 2026.”
