Anzac Day services around the region
Published: 18 Apr 2019
Veterans and students taking part in the Mackay Anzac Day main parade march are being asked to park at Caneland Central this year.
A limited number of buses will be available to transport marchers from Caneland Central’s rear bus stop (at the northern entrance) to the assembly point.
The march will begin from the River and Gregory streets car park, behind The Dome.
Buses will run from 7am to 8.15am and are being provided for those who would struggle to make the walk to the assembly point from Caneland Central.
The parade will form at the carpark behind Dudley Denny City Library at The Dome and will march off at 8.30am down Gregory Street and along Gordon Street before turning into Wellington Street and entering Jubilee Park via Alfred Street.
The main ceremony will be held at 9.30am in Jubilee Park, as usual.
There will also be return buses from Alfred Street to Caneland Central following the Anzac Day service.
Motorists are asked to avoid parking in the River and Gregory streets car park overnight on April 24.
