Organiser Chris Colvin from Orange RSL sub branch said strict measures had to be put in place to meet state government and RSL pandemic guidelines.
"There will be a normal service, but it will be held under a COVID-safe plan," he said.
"There will be 100 people maximum, they must fill out contact details and remain seated, and there will be hand sanitiser."
Mr Colvin said the only time people would be allowed to stand was during the Ode and the national anthem, or to lay a wreath.
"If we get more than 100 people, we will have to ask them to move on, or we would have to stop the service," said Mr Colvin.
"I would hate to have to ask somebody to move on.
"But it's my name on the piece of paper saying we will abide by the rules, and I would hate for someone to get sick at the service because someone has come from Sydney and there were too many people."
The service, to mark the end of World War I at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918, will commence at about 10.52am.
Mr Colvin suggested people try and arrive by 10.40am.
"It's going to be a sunny day, so bring a hat and some water," he said.
As part of the city's Remembrance Day tribute, a poppy has been painted on the grass at the park.
Poppies are also being planted at Robertson Park to mark the occasion.
