Temporary fencing Echuca cenotaph

15 August 2019 - Media release

Campaspe Shire Council has today placed temporary fencing around the Echuca Cenotaph due to structural concerns with the memorial walls surrounding the cenotaph itself.

General Manager Infrastructure Services, Mr Richard Conway said the temporary fencing has been placed to protect the community and minimise any risk should the walls fall.

“It has come to our attention that some of the walls surrounding the cenotaph have a significant lean,” Mr Conway said.

“We will now engage a structural engineer to assess the walls and provide advice on options available to rectify the problem.”

The Echuca RSL has been advised of the situation and the urgency to install temporary fencing to protect the community.
