A SPECIAL lighting projection will transform City Hall tribute to the men and women who served during World War I.
Designed for City Hall as a memorial of the Anzac legacy for the Gallipoli centenary, the light projections will be launched Friday 17 April with two Light Horsemen carrying the RSL commemorative flame.
“We wanted to do something really special this year to acknowledge the Anzac centenary,” Geelong mayor Darryn Lyons said.
“It will be an incredibly powerful lighting projection show that will pay tribute to all those who fought for the freedom we enjoy today.
“We’re expecting thousands to attend the lighting projection shows that will run every night for two weeks between 6pm and midnight from Friday 17 April to Sunday 3 May.”
Veteran affairs portfolio holder Cr Stretch Kontelj said the council had worked closely with
the Geelong RSL Sub-Branch to deliver the lighting projections.
“The Geelong RSL Sub-Branch has been involved right from the outset and I’m really proud of the final product. It’s a very fitting and moving tribute to the ANZAC legacy.” Cr Kontelj said.
The above artist’s impression from Matt Bonner is one of a series that will be projected onto City Hall.
“We are particularly delighted as Matt is a local film-maker and projection artist who has a keen interest in enriching people’s understanding of Geelong history and the
Anzac,” Cr Lyons said.
