See how Harkness Memorial Park is coming to life
These images and designs show how we’re creating peaceful, open spaces that blend into the natural landscape. We’ve worked with a range of stakeholders and community members to design a place that feels welcoming and comfortable for everyone, whether you’re saying goodbye to a loved one or simply enjoying the surroundings.

Our plan for the first stage
The first stage will lay the foundation for the park, creating initial spaces for ceremony, final resting places, and community use. With a primary footprint along the southern boundary, this stage will focus on establishing key infrastructure, enhancing the landscape, and ensuring a welcoming and functional space for families and visitors.
Indicative plan
A beautiful community park, restoring the landscape
At three times the size of Melbourne’s Royal Botanic Gardens, the design prioritises environmental sustainability and opportunities for the park to contribute to ecological conservation and regeneration within the local landscape.
