We’re pleased to announce that we will commence construction at the memorial park in Harkness in the second half of 2025, following significant progress with our Stage 1A plans.
GMCT CEO, Andrew Eriksen, says he is proud to see the project’s vision unfold.
“We’re incredibly excited to be preparing to break ground on our new memorial park in Harkness – it marks a new chapter for Melbourne’s rapidly growing western region. Over time, the park will become vital community infrastructure, serving not only as a final resting place and sanctuary for reflection, but also as a versatile open space for the community.”
The park’s design and development will evolve in response to the community’s changing needs, emerging through multiple stages.
In the initial phase, we will focus on establishing essential services and infrastructure, allowing the park to begin operating while additional features and facilities are progressively developed. This will include providing traditional burial and memorialisation services, as well as vital gathering spaces where the community can come together.
