Community feedback is being sought on the Murray Bridge Monument Project with the consultation ending at close of business this Thursday 16 January 2025.
Murray Bridge Districts Italian Association Inc. (MBDIAI) is funding the creation and installation of a statue in the Rural City as a tribute to the Italian migrants who made their homes in the Murraylands region.
Council proposes to install the monument in an established garden bed in Linear Park along Adelaide Road. It is an area that has historical cultural significance, near the founding market gardens, family homes and the site of the first Murray Bridge Italian Club.
The image above shows the concept design for the statue. The Italian figure will be made of Italian Carrara white marble, shipped from Italy and carved in South Australia by an Italian Stonemason.
This project will be funded by the MBDIAI, showcasing the Association’s commitment to recognising their Italian heritage and contribution to our community. The monument, once completed, will be gifted to the Rural City of Murray Bridge and our community.
Community members are encouraged to provide feedback or thoughts on the Italian Monument Project via https://letstalk.murraybridge.sa.gov.au/.
