Council's Draft Memorials Policy

Have your say on the updated Draft Hunter's Hill Council Memorials Policy which will assist Council to manage applications for memorials upon public land areas in the local government area. The Policy was last adopted by Council on 16 April 2020.

The review of this Policy has been undertaken by Council to ensure its continued relevance and compliance with current legislation. As a result of this review, in addition to legislative amendments, the following minor amendments to the existing Policy are recommended:

• Adding legislative approvals processes that apply to various land types.
• Providing greater flexibility, by ensuring Council can refuse applications within some parks.
• Insertion of a removal or relocation clause, allowing Council to remove or relocate a memorial when:
  - the area is to be redeveloped.
  - the character and use of the area in which the item is sited has changed significantly and the item is no longer deemed suitable for the site.
  - the structure or support on which the item is located is to be removed or altered.
  - the item has reached the end of its design life.
