#Queensland Police Memorial

BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA

The newly completed Queensland Police Memorial in Brisbane’s Botanic Gardens provides a space for visitors to reflect, honour, acknowledge and commemorate fallen service men and women. Featuring five folded archways, the memorial encourages visitors to move between and through the forms, exploring different perspectives and framing moments of the greenery beyond.

Designed by UAP with ceramicist Kenji Uranishi engaged as a design collaborator, the memorial references the checkered ribbon of the Australian police force and includes engraved name plates offering permanent recognition to those who lost their lives in service to the community. Fabricated in UAP’s Brisbane workshop, the Queensland Police Memorial creates a unique atmosphere of remembrance and contemplation within the Botanic Gardens.
