Late Wednesday afternoon, the Queensland Premier announced that Anzac Day parades and outdoor events could proceed without COVID-19 restrictions.

Following a request from the Mareeba RSL Sub-Branch, Council is providing in-kind assistance to enable the committee to hold a parade and ceremony at 10am on Anzac Day.

Mareeba Shire Mayor Angela Toppin said Council is assisting the Sub-Branch, to enable the event to proceed at such short notice.

“While the event may be down-scaled due to the short timeframe, I am pleased the RSL committee has decided and is able to proceed with the morning parade and service,” Cr Toppin said.

“Anzac Day is such a significant occasion and it is important that we all pause to remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.”

Mayor Toppin encouraged those who cannot attend a service to stand in their driveways and ‘Light up the Dawn’ to commemorate Anzac Day.

Residents are encouraged to light up the dawn this year from home at 6 am and commemorate Anzac Day.
