The monument will be located at Melbourne General Cemetery, College Crescent, Parkville, VIC 3052. This site was chosen because it is where Thomas Barlow was discovered to be buried after extensive historical research.

The location will be accessible to the public, allowing visitors to pay their respects and engage with the project. Further details about site access and any events will be shared as the project progresses.

Donations are used primarily to fund the design, construction, and installation of the monument. This includes materials, fabrication, site preparation, approvals, and associated works required to deliver the monument to a high standard.

Where necessary, funds may also support essential project costs such as research, documentation, community engagement, and administrative requirements directly related to delivering the monument.

All donations are managed under the ‘GoFundMe’ platform, ensuring appropriate governance, accountability, and financial oversight.
