Instead of the customary Dawn Service Sugarwood Court neighbours will each stand in their own driveways to light a candle.

Resident Heather Watson initiated the plan. Mrs Watson said she just felt a bit lost standing in front of her house, without the crowds normally at the Dawn Service.

"I thought, it'd be nice if everybody did something in front of the house, and make it a little bit more special," Mrs Watson said.

"Even though we're suffering with the virus, I just felt it was nice to mark it as a special occasion.

"When you've had family going back many years in the war. It's just nice to be able to recognise them."

Mrs Watson suggested the plan, and her neighbours thought it was a great idea.

The street's residents will join thousands of people around the state commemorating Anzac Day from their driveways.

Returned Soldiers Leagues have encouraged Australians to mark a minutes' silence from their yard, driveway or balcony as the last post is played during the live-streamed Dawn Service.

It comes after services to mark the event were ruled out by bans on public gatherings.

Instead the Melbourne Shrine of Remembrance will livestream its dawn service from about 6.10am.

People have been urged to take part in Light Up the Dawn at 6am.

Mrs Watson will play the Last Post from her driveway and light candles.

She has made a wreath from Happy Wanderer, bottlebrush and passionfruit vine.

Mrs Watson will remember her great-uncles, killed in the war in 1916. She didn't know her grandfather, her mother's father, had these two brothers until he died.

When her mother passed away, she wanted to share their story with her family and the community.
