The new Centenary Memorial in Kinsail Court Park, Cleveland was officially opened in a dedication ceremony on Friday.
The service was attended by returned veterans, dignitaries from Redlands RSL and Redlands National Servicemen's Association, Federal MP Andrew Laming, Redland Mayor Karen Williams, Redland City councillors and the public.
Mr Laming and Cr Williams acknowledged the many Australians who have died while serving the nation during times of conflict, and the organisations, people and government departments that came together to ensure the memorial was ready in time for the Centenary of Anzac this Saturday.
Redlands RSL president Alan Harcourt dedicated the memorial to all Australian Army, Navy and Air Force men and women "who paid the ultimate price for their country, and to those people of Redlands who appear on our cenotaphs and honour boards".
The new memorial is positioned diagonally opposite the cenotaph in Anzac Park and features a granite statue of a World War I Digger resting on arms reversed, a semi-circular, concrete retaining wall bearing the names of every major battle, from the Boer War to Afghanistan, in which Australians have been involved, and three flag poles.
A plaque on the statue pays tribute to the more than 400,000 Australians who enlisted for service in World War I.
The project was funded by a grant to Redlands RSL from the Australian Government Anzac Centenary Fund and a Local Government Major Infrastructure Grant to the Redlands National Servicemen's Association.
Redlands RSL and the Redlands National Servicemen's Association have also funded costs not covered by these grants.
