Communities and Heritage Councillor, Drew Wickerson, said this year there would be a mixture of ways people could honour Australia’s veterans.
“Last year, the community found new ways to honour those who have served, and continue to serve our country, which was fantastic to see,” Mr Wickerson said.
“The great news is not only are we able to have in person services again, but those new ways, such as RSL Queensland’s Light Up the Dawn campaign, will be back again this year.
“We understand not everyone will be able to attend Anzac events and encourage those who can’t attend to participate in Light Up the Dawn, which started last year in the midst of the pandemic and saw people lighting candles at the end of their driveways as a way to commemorate our veterans.

Two federal Labor politicians have made their partyâs pitch to Central Queensland during a tour of the region, but thereâs still no word on who will run for the key seat of Capricornia.
Queensland Senator and Shadow Minister for Northern Australia Murray Watt and member for Watson and Shadow Minister for Industrial Relations Tony Burke revealed Laborâs stance on mining and manufacturing when they visited the Keppel Brand factory at Yeppoon on April 20.
Speaking outside the crumbed sausage and dagwood dog manufacturerâs site, Mr Watt and Mr Burke made a jobs-centred pitch to make sure casual and labour hire employees got the same pay for the same work, to increase manufacturing, and keep exporting coal.

Benjamin Anthony Khan - 0.119
The roofer was found by police in his vehicle, parked in a Zilzie median strip with the engine running, at midnight on March 27.
He was unresponsive and officers tried to wake him. He appeared to be intoxicated so they tried to give him a breath test.
Police prosecutor Sergeant Shaun Janes told the court Khan was uncooperative with police and tried to enter the vehicle again, so had to be restrained.
He was taken back to the Rockhampton Police Station where he blew 0.119.
âHe made full admissions of being the driver of the vehicle at the time,â Sergeant Janes said.
