Ball nominations open

YOUNG Broken Hill women are being invited to nominate for the Civic Ball.

Broken Hill City Council is looking for 2025 Civic Ball debutantes.

The ball will take place on Friday, October 24 at the Civic Centre and nominations close on May 30.

As one of Australia’s most enduring debutante traditions, the Civic Ball continues to be a highlight on the local social calendar, offering an unforgettable evening of elegance and celebration.

Broken Hill Mayor Tom Kennedy encouraged young locals to be part of the iconic event.

“The Civic Ball is a cherished tradition in our community, bringing families together for a truly special night,” he said.

“Each year we welcome a diverse group of debutantes – from those stepping into this experience for the first time, to those carrying on a proud family tradition passed down through generations.

“It’s a meaningful occasion that creates lifelong memories not only for the debutantes, but also for their loved ones.”

To submit a nomination or learn more, contact Broken Hill City Council via email at council@brokenhill.nsw.gov.au or call 8080 3396.

Nomination forms are also available on Council’s website by searching for “Civic Ball” in the search bar at the top of the page.
