The City of Parramatta’s Commemorative Works and Memorials Policy outlines the principles and processes for the installation, management, and review of commemorative works and memorials in public spaces. The updated draft Policy aims to ensure commemorative works are respectful, inclusive, and reflect the diverse history and evolving values of our community.
Key Changes in the Policy
- Clearer Scope: The Policy now clearly defines what is included and excluded, ensuring applicants understand what types of commemorative works and memorials are eligible.
- Stronger Community Focus: There is a greater emphasis on reflecting community values, cultural significance, and ensuring broad community support for new memorials.
- Improved Assessment and Management: The Policy introduces a more consistent framework for assessing proposals, maintaining memorials, and managing their long-term presence in public spaces.
