Plaque

Memorials and plaques ensure that our community continue to honour our people, culture, environment, history and events. We have developed a policy to provide a compassionate and consistent approach to the placement of memorials and plaques within the community.  The policy defines the guidelines for the design, approval, installation, maintenance and management of memorials and plaques within open spaces and on roads and infrastructure.

Roadside memorial

For a roadside memorial please complete an Memorials & plaques - Roadside memorial application form (online) and submit. There is no application fee.

Roadside memorials on state-controlled roads must be referred to the Department of Transport and Main Roads for approval.

Dedication plaque on instructure

For a dedication plaque on infrastructure please complete the Memorials & plaques - Application for a dedication plaque on infrastructure (online) and submit. There is no application fee.

Memorial within an open space, park or garden

For a memorial within an open space, park or garden please follow these steps:

  1.  Memorials & plaques - installation in an open space application form stage 1
  2. Memorials & plaques - installation in an open space application form stage 2

There is no application fee, however, fees relating to statutory approvals for the installation (eg building approval) are the applicant's responsibility. You must be able to meet the following criteria:

  • The installation is proposed to be located in open space (i.e. not proposed to be located in a cemetery, along a road or privately owned land).
  • The proposal is explicitly memorial in form and function.
  • The proposal demonstrates a high level of cultural and social significance relevant to the region.
  • The proposal demonstrates a common interest with the theme of the open space or with other neighbouring installations.
