The current site next to the council offices on Hare St will be remodelled into a larger precinct, which will feature additional names not previously included on the Echuca War Memorial honour roll and a new art installation.
The project to find and add the missing names was informed by members of the community, families of those who served, and veterans’ groups, with Campaspe Shire Council saying the artwork will help create a place of reflection, remembrance and education.
“Excavation work begins today, November 12 at Echuca War Memorial in preparation for new artwork to be installed at the memorial later this month,” Campaspe Shire Mayor Jessica Mitchell said.
“Works are expected to be complete by the end of the year, weather and site conditions permitting.”
