Baw Baw Shire Mayor Kate Wilson encouraged community members to join in the Anzac spirit and attend a local community event.
"Anzac Day is a time for Australians everywhere to gather and honour the courage, sacrifice, and enduring spirit of those who have served our nation. This is a time to honour and remember those who have lost their lives serving in Australia's armed forces," she said.
Cr Suzanne Allen acknowledged the many community groups involved in planning, preparation and delivery of this year's local commemorative services.
"We are very fortunate to have so many dedicated RSL clubs and community groups volunteering their time to organise these community events and keep the Anzac spirit alive," Cr Allen said.
