ROAD TRAUMA MEMORIAL PROJECT

in
Where and When: 

When            Thursday October 14, 4.30 to 6.30
Where           RMIT Melbourne, Building 8 (enter opposite Swanston/Little LaTrobe corner). Take lift to Level 11 Theatre (Room 68).
Public transport is excellent. Commercial parking is available behind the Oxford Hotel, 427 Swanston Street, and also at the Queen Victoria complex, entered from Russell Street.

In 2009 the Road Trauma Memorial Project commenced. Its purpose is to establish a response within Victoria which acknowledges the enormous loss of life and serious injury as a result of road crashes. The Uniting Church in conjunction with Road Trauma Support Services, with initial support from the Transport Accident Commission, has been developing this initiative.

Widespread consultation with affected groups and individuals in metropolitan and rural communities has taken place, with a range of online feedback also received.

During the weekend of 13-15 August, RMIT’s Design Research Institute assembled two expert interdisciplinary teams, including landscape architects and designers, website designers and artists to develop concepts from the community’s feedback. The design brief requested each team to develop an integration of (i) a permanent public installation (ii) a virtual response and (iii) a private memorial.

The concepts from the two teams are superb in quite different ways. The teams are now further refining their concepts for presentation to all people with an interest in this memorial project. The Project’s Steering Committee is seeking feedback and responses to the concepts, and invites you to attend the presentation. Feel free to also invite others who may wish to attend.

 

I hope you are free to join us on this occasion.

RSVP by October 11 to kym.dyson@victas.uca.org.au (tea, coffee biscuits available)
