On Saturday 13 April 2024, the Bondi community was shattered by an unfathomable act of violence at Westfield Bondi Junction shopping centre when six innocent people’s lives were taken in terrible circumstances.
As we reflect one year on, two commemorative display boards, recognising the community’s response in the days following the tragic incident, will be installed in Oxford Street Mall, Bondi Junction for one week from 10-16 April.
Members of the public are encouraged to visit the display boards in Oxford Street Mall to take a moment to reflect on the tragic incident, remembering the lives lost and the outpouring of love from the community that followed. The display boards will be installed from early morning Thursday 10 April to the afternoon of Wednesday 16 April 2025.
The commemorative display boards will include a series of photographs, images and messages collected from the floral tribute sites located at Bondi Junction’s Oxford Street Mall and Westfield Bondi Junction, as well as images from the candlelight vigil held at Bondi Beach on Sunday 21 April.
Our thoughts are with the victims’ families, those injured, first responders, members of public and retailers, who carry the memory and the burden of that terrible day and whose lives were changed forever.
