The Busselton War Memorial is located in Victoria Square, a park bound by Albert and Pries Ave, Peel Tce and Causeway Rd.

Since 2016, the City has been working with the Busselton RSL to relocate or build a new memorial in Rotary Park.

At the November Ordinary Council meeting, concept designs for a new war memorial at Rotary Park were presented. Council determined that further community engagement on the designs is to take place. This page will serve as a base for all information related to the community engagement on the Busselton War Memorial.

The below survey will close at 5pm, 23 January 2023.

    Due to Stage 2 of the Lower Vasse River sediment removal project, access to the site for the new Busselton War Memorial (Rotary Park) will be restricted until October 2023. Construction can commence on the new War Memorial once the dewatered sediment has been removed from site. In the meantime, Officers have been working behind the scenes to finalise designs.

    If you have a relative who lived locally and died serving overseas, you can submit their details. Your information will be reviewed by the Busselton RSL, who will compare the information to their records. Alternatively, you can find more information about Australian service men and women via the Australian War Memorial website.
