GNC hosts its annual celebration of the Nepali festivals Dashain and Tihar with a
true Nepali spirit of “mela”. Please join us on 30th of September for the day-long
celebration, along with our local and invited artists from Nepal.
The idea of a Community for the Nepalese people, managed and operated by the Nepalese people of Sydney was discussed by Laxmi Prakash Magar, Milan Pradhan, Nima Sherpa & Pabi Raj Subba in early 1995. With the number of residents of ethnic Nepalese origin growing steadily, including migrants, students and temporary residents, the need to have a Community based organization that was for the residents of Sydney who were of Nepalese Origin this was an important motivation towards the establishment of the GNC. On 20 September 1995, the Gurkha-Nepalese Community was established. At that time there was only one other Community Association for the Nepalese people, the Nepalese Australian Association. The GNC is for all residents of Sydney, Australia whether permanent or temporary, of Nepalese origin. Mr. Lokman Limbu was elected as the first president, with Mr. Purna Bahadur Limbu as Vice-president and Pabi Raj Subba as Secretary, Jitman Limbu as Treasurer.
