POLICY PURPOSE
This policy sets the direction for the development, approval, management, placement and maintenance
of a diverse range of memorials and plaques that commemorate our people, culture, environment,
history and events, on all public land within the Sunshine Coast region.
For the purposes of this document, memorials and plaques will be referred to jointly as memorials
(unless identified as otherwise).

POLICY SCOPE
The policy is applicable to the following proposals:
   e   Objects, sculptures or structures that are explicitly memorial in form that have a designer/artist
       in the development of the work and which are to be located on land either owned or managed by
       council. Such projects will be assessed by the Public Art Assessment Panel but must also comply
       with this policy;
   e   Landscape features — specific areas of the region that can be enhanced, redeveloped or
       reclaimed in commemoration of a person or organisation, event or place;
   «   Commemorative trees planted in honour or memory of a person/s, organisation or event;
                                                                                      Page 6 of 86
