Mayor Bob Kirk, Hume MP Angus Taylor's wife, Louise Clegg will attend, while Goulburn MP Wendy Tuckerman is an apology.

It will be the first Remembrance Day gathering in Goulburn since 2019, due to last year's COVID restrictions.

Mr Ritchie said he was expecting 50 to 60 people to attend.

Belmore Park was chosen over Rocky Hill following discussions with Goulburn Mulwaree Council.
