The NSW RSL has announced it will work with sub-branches across the state to allow the commemorations to be held safely in April.

Wagga RSL sub-branch president David Gardiner said it was wonderful to have the events return this year, but they could not hold a march because it would be difficult to control crowd numbers.

"We have had meetings with police and the council but even before that we made the decision to call the march off because it's difficult to control spectators at the march," Mr Gardiner said. "You could probably control the the marchers but you wouldn't be able to control more or less 10,000 people who line the streets as usually happens here at Anzac Day.

"Anzac Day in Wagga will consist of the normal dawn service, conducted by Legacy, and the 11am service and the area has to be fenced off and we can have 3000 people."

Mr Gardiner urged people planning to attend Anzac Day events to arrive early due to the COVID-19 safety procedures. "Especially for the dawn service, you'd have to get there early as you'll need to be checked into the service area through QR codes and sanitisers," he said.

Last year Wagga's Anzac Day march and all events with large crowds were cancelled for the first time in more than 100 years following a decision by NSW Health in March last year.

RSL NSW president Ray James said that the league was committed to ensuring that people have access to a range of options to commemorate Anzac Day and the 'Light up the Dawn' campaign will be rolled out again this year after a "resounding national success".

The Light up the Dawn events saw people commemorate Anzac Day with candles in their own homes and driveways during the height of the pandemic last year.

"I encourage people to stay safe, and keep our vulnerable veterans safe, by commemorating locally this Anzac Day," Mr James said.
