This Memorial is consistent with our vision to protect:
-
Rosanna Parklands as a natural, public open space for informal, passive recreation;
-
the distinctly Australian style of landscape;
-
the heritage of Ellis Stones' aims, designs and landscape features;
-
the native flora and fauna;
-
the remnant indigenous vegetation;
-
the exotic vegetation with heritage or landscape value;
-
Salt Creek as a healthy living stream and
-
the wildlife corridor.
