Stolen Generations Marker

Potential sites within Moonee Valley were reviewed by the Stolen Generations Marker Working Group and considered by the Stolen Generations and Victorian Aboriginal community in early 2025.

From 14 October to 10 November 2025, Moonee Valley City Council consulted with the broader community to seek feedback on the short-listed locations. Council was keen to hear from members of the Stolen Generations and residents living near the suggested locations to determine whether there are any other considerations important for the working group to be aware of regarding the preferred location for the Marker.

Findings from the community consultation were summarised in a report available on the Stolen Generations Your Say page and was reported to the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Cultural Heritage Aboriginal Corporation, who made a final recommendation about the most appropriate site.

The Stolen Generations Marker will be commissioned through a two-stage process:

Stage One:

To be considered, First Nations Artists will respond to the questions:

1. How does this Stolen Generations Marker commission align with your creative practice?
2. How would you approach consultations and relationships?

Submissions will be reviewed by the Stolen Generations Marker Working Group who will shortlist 3 to 5 artists (or teams) for Stage Two under the following Evaluation Criteria.

Stage Two: During Stage Two, the 3 to 5 shortlisted artists (or teams) will be invited to develop their artwork proposals in close consultation with the Stolen Generations Marker Working Group and Moonee Valley City Council.
