Local governments may request that the public holiday be celebrated on an alternative day of significance within their districts, instead of the date proclaimed as the public holiday for the rest of the State.

Local governments interested in having an alternative date declared for the King’s Birthday public holiday in 2025 should provide a written request which contains:

• the boundaries of the area that will be affected by the change (if it is other than the local government’s boundaries)
• the reason/s for the alternative date
• the consultation process undertaken to arrive at the alternative date.

Written requests should be submitted no later than Friday 20 December 2024.
