(a) The Sir JJ Talbot Hobbs memorial will be relocated to a site immediately south of the Supreme Court Gardens to ensure a visual connection is maintained with the location of the ANZAC Day services. This is part of the $50 million forward works contract to Georgiou Group.
(b) A heritage impact statement and relocation management strategy have been prepared to support these works.
