Anzac Day on the Peninsula
Published on 03 April 2023
Anzac Day 2023 marks the 108th anniversary of the Gallipoli landing in 1915. The spirit of Anzac continues to play a role in the local community to this day, with its qualities of courage, friendship and sacrifice.
We encourage our community to commemorate Anzac Day by attending their local traditional dawn services, marches and remembrance services. There are services at different times and locations throughout the Peninsula.

Quote attributed to Mayor Councillor Steve Holland:
“On Anzac Day we remember and honour those who have fallen and express our gratitude for their service and sacrifice. Now more than ever we feel the value of peace. Council is proud to be supporting Anzac Day services in 13 towns on Tuesday 25 April 2023.”
