We’re pleased to announce that Harkness Memorial Park is the official name of our new development site, following community consultation and formal approval from the Victorian Government in early 2025.
Previously known as Melton West Memorial Park, the new name aligns with its location in the suburb of Harkness and reflects the identity of the local area.
During our consultation period from 30 September to 29 October 2024, we received 123 survey responses, with 64.2% supporting the name Harkness Memorial Park. We appreciate the community’s feedback and engagement throughout this process.
The new name will be updated across all platforms in the coming weeks, including our website, Google Maps, and other official records.
Stay tuned for further updates as we continue to develop Harkness Memorial Park into a place of reflection, remembrance and community connection.
