PHASE 2: Community Consultation

SITE SELECTION

Responses from the recent survey confirmed that communities wanted two kinds of memorials – two ‘Central Memorials’ to be sited in Marysville and Kinglake, as well as several ‘Local Memorials’ to be sited in communities where lives were lost.

Each community has been affected in different ways and each bereaved community wanted a place in their area where they can go and remember their loved ones. However the Central Memorials were also seen as important sites in which to tell the broader stories of the fires to locals and visitors, now and for future generations. They are also to provide a space for larger memorial events.

Sites have been identified for the Central Memorials at Marysville and Kinglake. The sites for local memorials have also been identified in Narbethong, Kinglake Central/Pheasant Creek and Kinglake West.

The siting of the Toolangi/ Castella memorials is still under discussion, with a community meeting to take place on April 11th to decide on the most appropriate site for these areas.

Your input into the siting of your local memorial is important.

Please come to the meeting on April 11th to give your feedback and further input to the site selection process.

MEETING DETAILS: Thursday 11th April 7:30pm

Where: CJ Dennis Hall, Healesville Kinglake Road, Toolangi
