Migrant stories

The City of Gosnells is among the most culturally diverse local government areas in greater Perth, with more than 43 per cent of residents born overseas and almost a third of residents speaking a language other than English at home.

Watch as residents share their experiences on what it was like to migrate to the City of Gosnells. 

If you're a migrant or first-generation Australian, we'd love to hear from you!  Please visit our Weaving Diversity into City of Gosnells Heritage page to find out more about our current project.
