While in the City, the Queen’s Baton will be in the hands of 20 local baton bearers as part of its travels across every state and territory of Australia in the lead- up to the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games’ Opening Ceremony on April 4.
Joondalup Mayor Albert Jacob said the City’s coastline would provide a “stunning backdrop for the thousands of people that come from far and wide to line the street and cheer on the batonbearers”.
“Our leg of the relay will then conclude at Whitfords Nodes Park – a popular reserve for recreation with events such as triathlons regularly hosted there.”
