From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_holidays_in_Australia :
"In August 2015, the day before the AFL Grand Final, as well as Easter Sunday, were gazetted as Public Holidays within Victoria. This date of the holiday is as gazetted by the Victorian Government and cannot be accurately predicted. In 2019, the Victorian Parliament legislated the AFL Grand Final public holiday by amending the Public Holidays Act 1993 (Vic)."

A note here says:
"Friday before AFL Grand Final typically falls on the last Friday in September. This website will be updated with the exact date upon release of the 2024 AFL schedule."
