Garden of the Grieving Mother

The approved Ballarat In The Know listing, using City of Ballarat content, places the garden at the Arch of Victory on Sturt Street. It describes a contemplative public space honouring the mothers, fathers, families and friends left waiting for servicemen and women in wartime. The source notes a life-size bronze statue by sculptor Peter Corlett OAM at the centre of the garden and says the site actively welcomes people with access needs, making it a useful reflective stop beside the Avenue of Honour and Arch of Victory.
