What’s happening?
Redland City Council has released a full schedule of Anzac Day services across the Redlands Coast for Friday, 25 April 2025, along with important road closure notifications in Cleveland and Redland Bay to support safe community participation.
Why it matters
Anzac Day stands as a powerful national moment to reflect on the sacrifice of Australian and New Zealand armed forces. Across Redlands, communities will gather in dawn vigils, marches, and ceremonies to remember those who served and died.
Council stated, “We join the community in paying respect to the men, women and animals of the armed forces and those who paid the ultimate sacrifice in the service of Australia and New Zealand.”
Local Impact
Redland City Council encourages motorists to plan ahead, observe road closures, and follow parking rules to ensure smooth commemorations throughout the region.
