Motorists are being warned of a number of road closures across the Gold Coast ahead of Anzac Day commemorations.
Several services are being held throughout the city, with a number of roads to be closed for several hours in the morning.
Thousands of people are expected to participate in various events throughout the day.
Police say they will deploy extra staffing to ensure the 2023 Anzac Day commemorations are not adversely affected by any anti-social behaviour or traffic issues.
“External resources from Water Police, Dog Squad, Polair and Road Policing Command will supplement the local policing response ensuring a high-visibility police presence is broadly maintained across District,” a QPS statement reads.
“Gold Coast Police would like to encourage the public to drink and act responsibly when commemorating Anzac Day, respecting the nature of the occasion.”
