Griffith City Council’s Memorial Gardens Embellishment Committee is proud to announce a new plan to refresh the gardens.
With $200,000 allocated for this project, the concept design includes new footpaths and new plantings that will enhance the beauty of the area and create a more enjoyable space for visitors to the park.
At the Ordinary Council Meeting held on 11 April 2023, Councillors endorsed the Memorial Gardens Draft Landscape Concept Plan, which will now progress to inviting quotation to undertake work. This is an exciting milestone for the Committee, who have been working hard to come up with ideas to improve the space.
Chair of the Memorial Gardens Embellishment Committee, Councillor Laurie Testoni, is thrilled to see the project progress to this stage.
“We have been working on this plan for quite some time, and I am excited to see it come to fruition. We consulted the local RSL and other stakeholders and their input has been extremely useful,” Councillor Testoni said.
“This is an important project for the community, and we believe it will bring a great deal of joy and beauty to Memorial Gardens.”
The new design for the Memorial Gardens was based on an informal meeting held at the Memorial Park Gardens on 23 November 2022, where the Committee discussed concepts with local landscaper Garry Moore. Mr Moore’s expertise and insights were invaluable to the Committee, and his input helped shape the final design.
The Memorial Gardens Embellishment Committee looks forward to sharing updates on the progress of the project and inviting the community to enjoy the new and improved gardens.
