Draft Memorials in Open Space Policy
Consultation has concluded
Feedback closes 11.59pm, 16 July 2023
The purpose of this policy is to ensure that applications for memorials within public open space are managed on a consistent basis. In the past, Council provided the opportunity for individuals and groups wishing to commemorate a loved one by donating a seat with a plaque. The seat was required to meet Council’s Public Domain Style Manual & Design Codes and could only replace an existing seat. Council would then install the new seat at no cost. There is an opportunity for the increasing number of requests to be controlled through a policy to ensure they are consistently and transparently managed basis. The main objectives of this policy are to: provide Council with a consistent approach to dealing with requests for memorials within Council open space; establish criteria to assess and respond to requests by individuals and groups for the recognition of appropriate community members; and to define conditions under which Council will accept requests for memorials.
