WWII Memorial Bowl Upgrade
Delivering on our WWII Memorial Bowl Master Plan, preserving and enhancing this historic site within our city.
The project is complete and open for community use. An official opening is scheduled for 8 November.
About the project
The WWII Memorial Bowl is an important part of the fabric of our city, whether you visit to reflect on our history, enjoy the nearby play space with your family, or stop by on your way up the hill to the Monument.
Council endorsed the WWII Memorial Bowl Master plan in May 2021, which outlines initiatives to enhance and preserve the site, with input from the local community, residents and the Albury RSL Sub Branch.
The plan includes:
- Repairs to the heritage walling
- A new memorial garden
- Interpretive signage
- New play and exercise spaces
- Shade sails and tree planting
- Seating
- Pathway upgrades
- Improved access and more...
We’ve been working closely with local architects Spiire, CSU, the Albury RSL Sub Branch and the Historical Society for the design of the space, which will speak to the natural environment, the heritage of the site and connection to the memorial.
