The city's RSL sub-branch has encouraged the community to stand at the end of their driveways at dawn, while Griffith's community radio station 2MIA will be holding their own service over the airwaves from 10.45am on April 25.

2MIA vice president and presenter of Keith's Australian Country Corner Keith Cheetham said as an ex-serviceman himself, it was vital to do something for the occasion.

"To put it simply Anzac Day and Remembrance Day are the two really significant things for any ex-serviceman," Mr Cheetham said.

"The dawn service here in Griffith and Yenda and surrounding towns is always well attended ... [the radio service] would be as if we were doing an outside broadcast for Anzac Day from the Cenotaph."

Mr Cheetham said the radio service will follow a traditional Anzac Day service, planning to mirror the marching of military bands down Banna Avenue before going into the traditional readings and hymns - with other presenters from the station stepping in to lend their voices to the service.

"This is our thing for our community," Mr Cheetham said.

"We may not be able to parade and stand there [at the Cenotaph] and recite the oath and everything else, but we will recite the oath ... that's what I want to convey, it is an Anzac Day service."

2MIA president Dolf Murwood said it was important for the station to honour the day as it goes hand-in-hand with the station being a voice of the community.

"We're going to be here for the community and this is part of it," Mr Murwood said.

"That's what community radio is all about and we're doing that service for the community and we're excited about doing it."

The radio service will not be the only way the area's community intends to honour Anzac Day, with people in Yenda and surrounding areas preparing to join in a country-wide dawn service.

Griffith RSL sub-branch member Terry Walsh said the sub-branch is encouraging all members of the community to watch the nationally televised dawn service before moving onto their driveways at 6am for two minutes of silence.

"We are promoting and encouraging people to participate in both of these," Mr Walsh said.

Mr Walsh said the sub-branch are also planning to set-out the battens at the Cenotaph for people to lay wreaths if they are so inclined but the branch will not be involved with any commemorations for the day.

"We will make that available for people to lay a wreath at the Cenotaph if you so wish," Mr Walsh said.

"We also encourage members of the public if they know of any veterans in isolation to get in contact with them on Anzac Day and check on them ... it won't go astray."

RSL NSW is also encouraging all everyone in the state to stand at the end of their driveway or on their balconies at 6am on April 25 as well as tune into a televised service from Canberra's Australian War Memorial from 10am.

RSL NSW acting president Ray James said while these are new ways of commemorating the day, they still provide an opportunity to stop and reflect.

"Traditional dawn services and marches are just not possible this year," Mr James said.

"But during these difficult and uncertain times, it is vital that we stay true to our values of mateship and camaraderie - that we honour our service personnel and show our Anzac spirit.

"Anzac Day will be commemorated and the ANZACs will not be forgotten."
