Korean War Memorial
Background to the project
The Premier of NSW, the Hon. Morris Iemma, MP, has agreed to provide State Government land for the construction of a memorial to commemorate the Korean War.
The memorial site is located at the northern end of Moore Park (within Centennial Parklands). The Park is heritage listed as a place of national significance to the Australian people due in part to its historic setting as a place for significant national events.
The memorial commemorates the Australian and Korean veterans of the Korean War (1950 – 1953).
It is a memorial that honours a friendship forged through war, between two different countries, cultures and communities. The memorial will be a place that remembers the war with dignity and in so doing honours the hope of future peace. It will be a place of significance; a place that brings people together for ceremonies and cross-cultural celebrations, and will remain accessible to all park users.
The memorial design was the result of a design competition held in 2007. A development application has been lodged with the Council of the City of Sydney.
The memorial is being funded jointly by the NSW Government, Korean Government, Veterans groups and the Korean community of Sydney.
The project will be completed in 2009.
