Project Update

May 2026

The NCA advises due to changed circumstances, the Agency will not be proceeding with this project to design and construct a Commemoration of Marion Mahony Griffin and Walter Burley Griffin. 

The NCA will continue to support outcomes which honour and celebrate the legacy of the Griffins’ work in Canberra and their broader contribution to city planning, architecture and landscape design.  

The NCA would like thank Oculus Landscape Architecture + Urban Design and the team including Monash Art Projects (MAP) Artist and Director Callum Morton, and builders Eifer, for the work they did on the project up to this point.
