ANZAC CENTENARY LOCAL GRANTS HONOUR SERVICEMEN AND WOMEN ACROSS THE COUNTRY

Friday, 20 June 2014 VA038

The Minister for Veterans’ Affairs and Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Centenary of ANZAC, Senator the Hon. Michael Ronaldson today announced more than $2.36 million in funding for commemorative projects under the Anzac Centenary Local Grants Program. “The Centenary of Anzac will mark a Century of Service, encompassing all wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations in which Australians have been involved. It will be the most significant period of commemoration in our nation’s history and the Abbott Government is committed to providing opportunities for all Australians to participate,” Senator Ronaldson said. “There has been an outstanding response to the Anzac Centenary Local Grants Program with more than 1,650 applications received from all Federal electorates across Australia. “The range of applications received highlights the many stories that exist in towns and cities across Australia about the service and sacrifice of our servicemen and women during the First World War. “These grants will assist communities to find out more about their local servicemen and women through the display of military memorabilia, artefacts and historic photographs, the research and publishing of books, and the restoration and creation of memorials, avenues of honour, statues and remembrance gardens. “The initiatives that these grants fund will help young Australians understand that the freedoms we enjoy today, in many instances, came at the price of blood. They ensure that community-based commemoration is at the heart of the Centenary of Anzac.” The 212 projects approved to date from 52 electorates include a number of unique projects such as: A research project involving 41 schools and their local communities in NSW, producing a

piece of visual, performing, print or multimedia art representing their individual understanding of Australia's involvement in the First World War.

A free, public, historical pageant through the centre of Parramatta, NSW on 30 August 2014 to commemorate the outbreak of the First World War and the service and sacrifice of the men of the 1st Light Horse.

A re-enactment of a period infantry and light horse camp at Morphettville, SA and a uniformed march and commemoration ceremony.

The establishment of a new war memorial at the Tim Neville Arboretum in Melbourne’s outer eastern suburbs to honour the memory of local veterans from the Knox district.

Veterans and Veterans Families Counselling Service (VVCS) and Veterans Line can be reached 24 hours a day across Australia for crisis support and free and confidential counselling. Phone 1800 011 046 (international: +61 8 8241 4546) Subscribe to media releases at minister.dva.gov.au/subscribe.htm
