Public Memorials and Monuments

Longreach Regional Council (Council) recognises the need for public amenities, including parks and reserves, across the Shire. Council’s parks and reserves are primarily provided and maintained for recreation or environmental protection.

Council considers the cemeteries provided by Council and other providers in the Shire are located in the most appropriate places for commemorating loved ones. Generally, Council does not support visible memorials being created in its parks and reserves or alongside footpaths.

However, Council recognises that, on occasion, it is appropriate to commemorate or recognise local people, groups, places or events of significance in a more public space. In such circumstances, Council may approve a public monuments or memorials in accordance with the Memorials and Monuments Policy.

Requests for public monuments or memorials will only be approved if they meet the criteria contained in the Policy and the Guidelines.

The Public Memorials and Monuments Policy and Guidelines replaces any previous approval or process regarding the installation of a memorial. Existing memorials or plaques cannot be used as precedent for future approvals.
