About the Streets of Remembrance program
The Bundaberg Region has a history of recognising local veterans through street naming.
Council has a strong commitment to the commemoration and preservation of the service history of the Bundaberg Region and acknowledges the contributions of veterans and families to World War I, World War II, and other recognised conflicts.
The purpose of the Streets of Remembrance Program is to provide a means for Council to honour this service history.
This will occur through badging of eligible streets that were named after these local veterans (living or deceased) or families.
So far, the program has identified more than 70 street names to ensure the stories of veterans remain an integral part of the community’s heritage.
