City of Casey will be reviewing the lack of Casey branding in Bunjil Place as well as the lack of display of council information, history and memorabilia.
Council officers will prepare a report that investigates and addresses the lack of display that explains the story behind and origin of the wood panelling used throughout Bunjil Place.
It has been suggested that the display could be one that shows pictures of the tree in its original state and the story of how it has come to be used in Bunjil Place.It was also noted that the story of the cenotaph be captured in a plaque at that location, stating that the date of the opening and the special components including the Morse code pillars.
“I think this is a fantastic idea, in America they do this very well; wherever you go there’s a piece of history on a footstep, on a plaque or on a statue,” City of Casey Cr Susan Serey said.
“Overall I think it would be great if we could have more of a historical push in our local area but this is a great start.
“We could definitely have more historical plaques in our city, particularly in Berwick and Cranbourne, our oldest cities. We just celebrated the 150th birthdays in both suburbs.”
Cr Serey said this is the first step to recognising our past in the City of Casey.
Bunjil Place will celebrate it’s first anniversary in October.
