We're busy planning this year's Anzac Day Eve Youth Vigil to be held at the Edwardstown Bowling Club.

Young people will pay tribute to service personnel who have fought for their country at a public ceremony at 8.30pm on April 24.

The youth, aged 13 to 18, will then stand guard in 30-minute shifts throughout the night leading up to the Anzac Day Dawn Service starting at 6.15am.

Friends, family and the public are invited to attend any part of the commemorative event.

Find out what's nearby: Discover nearby council facilities such as parks, playgrounds and libraries.

Report issues: Report issues to us which require attention such as damaged bins, graffiti removal and illegal dumping.

Bin collections: Find out which bin to put out and when.

Receive reminders: Get 'push notifications' direct to your phone as reminders for bin set-outs, events and when payments are due.
