Kings Park’s Bali Memorial has been a moving and captivating monument to the deep and lasting effect the 2012 Bali Bombings have had on the WA public.

But now, thanks to Perth’s rapid growth and without much forethought, the buildings of Elizabeth Quay have blocked the unique ray of light which illuminates the memorial at dawn.

Bali Memorial Association spokesperson Keith Pearce told Gary Adshead on 6PR Mornings they are investigating ways of restoring the unique capacity of the Kings Park memorial to bathe in the dawn light on October 12 of every year.

“Speaking to the director of Kings Park, they are now very keen to keep a close eye on any developments and how they might effect monuments into the future,” Mr Pearce said.
