Background Information

The purpose of the Commemorative Memorial Guidelines Policy is to provide a guideline for the establishment and maintenance of commemorative memorials.

The Commemorative Memorial Guidelines Policy works to outline the requirements and performance standards of a commemorative memorial, which is any plaque or monument reserved for the recognition or memory of an individual (or family), service organisation/club or group, having made a significant contribution to public life or having attracted national or international recognition.

Following the submission of the application, the proposal shall be publicly advertised seeking community comment. It is proposed that Council will then consider the proposal taking into consideration the guidelines and any submissions received.
