                    ​​​​​​​​The Family Violence Memorial is a landscaped garden that honours victims and survivors of family violence. Situated on the corner of St Andrews Place and Lansdowne Street, it is a space sculpted by landscape, informed by lived experiences and guided by empathy; a place for people to remember, resist and reflect. 

                    The garden features purple flowers that bloom all year – symbolic of the global movement to end family violence, and a path that leads to an English Elm tree representing the passing of time and renewal. It also includes a smoking vessel and plaque inscription, which recognises the cultural significance of the site. ​
