Australians around the nation and the world will come together on 25 April to pause, remember and commemorate those who have served past and present.
Rockhampton Region Mayor Tony Williams said in line with other tributes on ANZAC Day, there will be plenty of local options for people pay their respects and give recognition to this important day.
"ANZAC Day is a day to remember and honour those who went before us from the Gallipoli landing in 1915 through to the campaign and operations of today," Mayor Williams said.
"Community members and residents across the region can attend nearby events and take a moment to recognise and remember.
"Rockhampton, Gracemere, Mount Morgan, Westwood, Bouldercombe, Marmor and Alton Downs will be hosting services, with marches also taking place in Rockhampton, Gracemere and Mount Morgan.
"The C.Q Military Museum will again be hosting breakfast and other activities from 5am to 5pm on the day.
"On Monday 24 April, there will be a service commencing at 10.30am at Stenhouse Park, Lakes Creek Road, Koongal.
"The range of events is a testament to just how much our community values the sacrifices made by our armed forces, whether they served 100 years ago or are on active duty today."
Chair of the Rockhampton ANZAC Day Committee Councillor Drew Wickerson said a special thanks goes to event organisers.
"It means so much to me and the community that we can attend an event, and honour and thank our nation's veterans," Cr Wickerson said.
"We wanted to let the community know what events were happening early this year to allow time to organise and arrange logistics.
"Remember to check parking availability and road closures before leaving your home - you can find this information on Council's website.
"25 April is a day to show our respect and honour our nation's veterans. I encourage everyone to attend a local service or event near you."
