Thank you to everyone who joined us on Saturday for the ANZAC Day ceremony at the Nedlands War Memorial. It was incredibly special to see community members of all ages come together to honour the service and sacrifice of our veterans and serving defence personnel.

Our thanks to the Nedlands Sub‑branch of RSL WA for partnering with the City, and to the 502 Army Cadet Unit - Karrakatta for their involvement on the day.

Lest We Forget.
