Latest Update

The draft Memorial Policy - Engagement Outcomes Report went to City Works & Assets Committee on 13 September and Council on 27 September 2023 for adoption.

Refer to Council Minutes 27 September 2023 on Page 17 for Council's Resolution.

Bayside Council is inviting feedback on its draft Memorial Policy. The Policy provides individuals and groups with the opportunity to request private memorials in public open spaces and on public infrastructure.

Memorials are objects like trees, plaques or furniture that are installed as public tributes for loved ones, or groups and events that have had a significant impact on the community.

The draft Memorial Policy establishes what can be a memorial, how residents can apply for one, and the assessment criteria we will use to review each request.

The policy aims to ensure a consistent and clear approach to memorials that reflect the heritage and community of Bayside.
