𝐀 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 – 𝐊𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐨 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐖𝐚𝐫 𝐌𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧
Today, our community gathered at the historic Kangaroo Ground War Memorial Park for a particularly significant occasion. The Remembrance Day Service and the rededication of the Tower of Remembrance marked 100 years since its original dedication on 11 November 1926.
First dedicated in honour of those who served during the Great War, the Tower has stood for a century as a lasting symbol of service, sacrifice and remembrance. Today's rededication reaffirmed its enduring purpose: to honour all Australians who have served our nation in times of war, conflict and instability, and especially those who never returned.
The ceremony included the unveiling of a new commemorative plaque by Kate Thwaites MP, Cindy McLeish MP, and Anna Pelling, President of the Friends of Kangaroo Ground War Memorial Park, followed by the formal rededication conducted by an Australian Army Chaplain.
We were honoured to welcome a distinguished gathering of representatives, including Vicki Ward MP for Eltham, Mayor of Nillumbik Shire Council Naomi for Nillumbik, and Mayor Alison Champion of Banyule City Council, together with representatives of neighbouring RSL Sub-Branches, community organisations, local schools and the Australian Defence Force. We also welcomed Presidents from both Hurstbridge RSL Sub-Branch and Diamond Creek RSL.
A particularly meaningful contribution came from the students of Kangaroo Ground Primary School, whose participation reminded us of the importance of passing the responsibility of remembrance to future generations.
Our sincere appreciation goes to the Friends of Kangaroo Ground War Memorial Park, particularly President Anna Pelling and the dedicated volunteers whose commitment to preserving this historic place and its legacy is so important to our community. Their work ensures that the Tower of Remembrance remains not simply a monument to the past, but a living place of reflection, education and community connection.
The Montmorency-Eltham RSL Sub-Branch is proud to work alongside the Friends in supporting commemorative activities at this important memorial.
We also extend our thanks to everyone who contributed to today's service, including our ceremonial participants, local community organisations, volunteers and all those who attended to pay their respects.

A Unanimous Vote for the Future of RSL Victoria
At today's Extraordinary General Meeting, members of the Montmorency-Eltham RSL Sub-Branch did their bit and voted unanimously in support of the proposed reforms to RSL Victoria, including its transition to a Company Limited by Guarantee and the adoption of a new Constitution.
This is an important moment for our Sub-Branch and the wider RSL network.
These reforms are about much more than governance and organisational structures. They are about building a stronger, more accountable and sustainable RSL Victoria, better equipped to meet the changing needs of veterans and their families, now and into the future.
By modernising how our organisation operates, we can strengthen our ability to deliver meaningful welfare and wellbeing support, advocate for veterans and their families, preserve the traditions of remembrance and commemoration, and remain relevant to future generations of Australian service personnel.
Our purpose remains unchanged: to support those who have served, and the families who stand beside them. These reforms will help ensure we can continue fulfilling that purpose for generations to come.
We thank our members for their engagement, thoughtful consideration and unanimous support. Our Sub-Branch delegates will now carry that decision forward to the RSL Victoria State Branch Extraordinary General Meeting on 30 November.
A strong RSL. A sustainable future. Better outcomes for veterans and their families. ... See MoreSee Less

YOUR VOTE MATTERS — OUR RSL'S FUTURE
This Saturday, Montmorency-Eltham RSL members will consider one of the most consequential decisions about RSL Victoria's governance in many years.
The consequences of this vote are significant.
A YES vote will allow RSL Victoria to begin establishing the modern governance arrangements it needs to remain effective and sustainable.
A NO vote will prevent these reforms from proceeding, with RSL Victoria indicating it would need to substantially reduce its operations. This would significantly affect its ability to support veterans and their families.
Our President strongly recommends a YES vote.
These reforms are necessary to protect the future of our organisation and the advocacy, welfare and wellbeing services that veterans and their families rely upon.
📅 Saturday 7 November
🕥 10.30 am
📍 Members Bar, Montmorency-Eltham RSL
Life, Service and Affiliate members can vote on the appointment of delegates. Only Life and Service members can vote on the direction given to delegates regarding the proposed reforms.
Please attend. Your voice matters. ... See MoreSee Less
