The City of Gosnells is inviting residents to come together in remembrance this Anzac Day, with a special dawn commemoration planned in partnership with the Gosnells RSL.
Taking place on Friday, April 25, the morning will begin with the traditional Anzac Day March. Participants are asked to gather at 6:25 am in the Gosnells Coles car park, before stepping off at 6:40 am.
The march will travel down Albany Highway and finish at the Civic Centre Gardens.
A solemn Dawn Service will follow at the War Memorial in the Civic Centre Gardens at 6:55 am, providing the community with a chance to pause and pay tribute to the men and women who have served Australia in war and peacekeeping missions.
A Gunfire Breakfast will be served after the service for a gold coin donation.
Mayor Terresa Lynes said the City is proud to support the Gosnells RSL in hosting the annual event.
“It is always an honour to be part of this important commemoration for our community,” she said.
“Anzac Day is an opportunity to reflect on and honour the dedicated service and sacrifices made by members of our armed services in war and peacekeeping operations across generations. This year also marks the 110th anniversary of the Gallipoli campaign.”
Motorists are advised that Albany Highway southbound, between Gosnells Road East and Fremantle Road, will be closed from 6:40am to 7:15am to allow the march to take place safely.
Residents of all ages are encouraged to attend and pay their respects at this important annual event.
