Place of Reflection
Opening Date15th April 2011
The Place of Reflection is set high on Kings Park and Botanic Garden’s iconic Mount Eliza escarpment fringed by a canopy of trees and overlooking the beautiful Swan River. "Place of Reflection" is to be built on the escarpment of Kings Park at an estimated cost of $1.5 million and is to be completed by the latter part of 2010. Lotterywest have recently approved major funding support of $1 million with the balance to be raised by the applicant consortium.
I would be delighted to answer any questions interested persons may have or to expand on this iconic and much needed community facility. Please visit www.placeofreflection.org or call Gary on 08 9447 1314 or 0417 217 255 email: gary.redmond@bigpond.com "

Botanic Gardens & Parks Authority Site Approval
At their December 2009 Board Meeting the Botanic Gardens & Parks Authority (BGPA) gave firm approval for the Place of Reflection to be built on the Kings Park escarpment adjacent to the Roe memorial.
This is a magnificent location for the Place of Reflection, providing the perfect setting amidst the beautiful flora and fauna of Kings Park for peace, reflection and healing with glimpses through the trees to the Swan River, the city and the hills beyond.
The approval is an exciting step forward for our project which has been under consideration for nearly 6 years. The realization of this dream is now well in sight and it is hoped an opening ceremony will take place before the end of 2010.
Funding and preliminary design work is well under way for this unique facility for those wanting to experience a sense of comfort, solace and peace amongst the natural beauty of our iconic ‘Peoples Park’. This tranquil setting will become a haven for those seeking a place to reflect either alone or with others and to also offer a place of celebration for the lives of those now not with their families.
Those wanting to know more about the Place of Reflection, its origins and purpose should ring Gary Redmond on 0417 217 255 or email gary.redmond@bigpond.com and keep a watch on our website. www.placeofreflection.org
