FOI Request FA 21/12/00284
Questions:
1) I would like to know the number of citizenship applicants who are waiting to complete
the citizenship ceremony, residing in Ku-ring-gai Council, NSW. Please consider only
applicants who were approved on or before 07/12/2021.
2) Further, if it is possible, I would also like to know how many people wil be invited to
attend their citizenship ceremony each time in Ku-ring-gai.
Answers:
1) The Department cannot report on approved applicants residing in a council area as this
information is not captured in our reporting systems. The Department is able to report
on applicants who have selected Ku-ring-gai Council for their citizenship ceremony:
As at 10 December 2021, there were 182 people whose application for Australian
citizenship by conferral had been approved on, or before, 7 December 2021, and who
had selected Ku-ring-gai Council (NSW) as their preferred ceremony location.
2) There is no set number of people who are invited to attend a citizenship ceremony
hosted by local government councils.
