9. Notice of Motion - Upgrade of Memorial Honouring the life of Deidre Kennedy
Resolution: Moved by Mayor Teresa Harding:
9. Notice of Motion - Upgrade of Memorial Honouring the life of Deidre Kennedy
This is a joint notice of motion submitted by Mayor Teresa Harding and Division 3 Councillors (Councillors Marnie Doyle and Andrew Fechner) proposing an upgrade to the memorial currently located near Bill Paterson Oval, Limestone Park which honours the life of Deidre Kennedy.
On the night of 13 April 1973, 17-month-old Deidre Kennedy was abducted from her Ipswich home and murdered. It was a crime that shook the nation and sent a wave of fear and despair across Ipswich.
Almost 50 years on, this joint Notice of Motion proposes to upgrade the existing memorial plaque which is currently attached to a rotunda in Limestone Park.
The scale and location of the existing memorial plaque does not adequately represent the significance of this sad moment in Ipswich’s history. In its current position, the Kennedy family, friends and residents are unable to leave fitting tributes and floral arrangements to celebrate and honour Deidre’s life.
Therefore, Mayor Teresa Harding and Division 3 Councillors Marnie Doyle and Andrew Fechner are seeking Council’s support to upgrade the current plaque, reattach it to a sandstone block or similar base, and relocate it to the neighbouring garden bed.
It is hoped this would serve as an appropriate and longstanding memorial of Deidre Kennedy’s life, creating a suitable place for Deidre’s family to come together with the community on the upcoming 50 th anniversary on Thursday 13 April 2023.
This proposal is supported by the Kennedy family, who would welcome Council’s ongoing support in ensuring Deidre’s memory will never be forgotten.

b) Relocate the new memorial plaque to the garden bed adjacent to the existing plaque, mounted on a sandstone base.
c) To have these works completed before 13 April 2023.
d) Report back to the GIW Committee, following 13 April 2023, on the cost and timeline for any additional embellishments the Kennedy family proposes for this site, for Council’s consideration.
Councillor Paul Tully proposed the following amendment to the motion:
That Deidre Kennedy’s full name be included in the memorial.
That the word relocate in b) be amended to locate.
The mover and seconder of the original motion agreed to the amendment of b) only.
