The master plan responds to the need for the Shrine to maintain its core memorial and commemorative functions while remaining meaningful to Victoria’s growing and increasingly diverse community.
Developed through consultation with the project working group, Shrine Trustees and a range of stakeholders, the plan sets out a philosophy for change and a design framework for the site, its facilities and its broader relationships to 2045.
