National Peacetime Service Memorial Project

The Injured Service Persons Association has embarked on a project to construct a memorial to honour and remember the Australian Defence Force (ADF) men and women who have died or been injured whilst training to go to war, on duty in peacetime service or on humanitarian aid overseas.

The memorial will be constructed at Russell Offices in Canberra, which is the ADF decision making centre.

The memorial design needs to reflect the Navy, Army and Air Force service within Australia.

Ongoing maintenance is an important aspect of the design and water features and illumination should be avoided other than one or two spotlights to highlight an important or prominent aspect of the memorial.

We are requesting your assistance in designing this memorial. We believe that this would be a worthy project for your students.

As an incentive, the ISPA will be present the winning designer a $250.00 gift voucher of their choice of retailer such as Harvey Norman, Dick Smith etc.

Please direct any questions regarding the memorial design to Lawrie Heath on 0408 182 375 or email lawrie.heath@bigpond.com.

Location of the Memorial

It is envisaged that the location of the memorial will in the middle of the four main buildngs. The finalisation of the memorial is dependant on the design.
