Plaques and Memorials Policy

Plaques and memorials can provide symbolic recognition that strengthens community connection, heritage and belonging.

The City of Whittlesea works collaboratively with the community to commemorate people, places, and events of significance.

The purpose of the Plaques and Memorials Policy and Plaques and Memorials Guidelines is to outline Council's approach to the consideration, approval and management of plaques and memorials on Council-owned or controlled land, and:

• provides a framework for consistent decision making
• ensures commemorations align with relevant legislative and Council strategies
• balances recognition with public safety, amenity, and sustainability.
