Countdown to Queen’s Baton Relay

The City is the only local government lucky enough to be hosting community celebrations at two locations - Quinns Rocks and Wanneroo - meaning more local residents will get the chance to be part of this historic event.

The Queen’s Baton Relay is a global tradition that celebrates diversity, inspires community pride and aims to excite people about the world-class festival of sports and culture the Commonwealth Games offer.

“The Relay will be the longest and the most accessible ever. Local residents will have the chance to see the baton up close and hear inspiring stories from local baton bearers,” Mayor Tracey Roberts said.

“I am very proud that we have two locations where people can be part of the celebrations - I really hope our residents embrace the occasion and are there to witness this special event.”

Get involved on the day by cheering on batonbearers along a street near you, or come and see the baton up close at one of the City’s community celebrations.

Both locations will have entertainment, food and drinks available while waiting for the baton to arrive.
