For councils
Connect your community’s memorials with the stories behind them.
Remembered Here helps Australian local councils create an accessible digital record of the people, events and contributions commemorated in public places. The platform connects each physical memorial to a dedicated online story through a durable QR code.
Council benefits
- A searchable register of memorials across the council area.
- Researched stories shared without overcrowding physical plaques.
- Support for heritage education, walking trails and local tourism.
- A moderated pathway for community knowledge and family records.
- Clear attribution, sources and content-review records.
- Permanent URLs designed for long-lived physical QR installations.
Onboarding
Onboarding begins with a short discussion about the memorials in your area, the records you already hold and who will review content. Existing registers, spreadsheets or heritage studies can be imported, and your council collection and map are prepared before anything is published.
Content governance
Councils decide who may publish. Roles cover platform administration, council administration, editing and review, and contribution, each with least-privilege access. Every material content or status change is recorded in an audit history so decisions can be traced.
QR plaque options
Each memorial receives a short, permanent destination URL that does not change. If a page slug is later corrected, the previous address continues to work through a permanent redirect, so installed plaques and codes remain valid.
Plaque materials, sizes and installation approaches vary by site and by council procurement. Request a discussion and we can work through the options suited to your assets.
Accessibility
Pages are built to WCAG 2.2 AA: keyboard navigation, visible focus, skip links, labelled controls, sufficient contrast, captions or transcripts for media, and a written location description alongside every map. Map use is never required to reach a story.
Moderation
Community submissions are never published automatically. Each submission is reviewed for sources, rights, cultural sensitivity and the privacy of living people before an authorised reviewer publishes it.
Data stewardship
Records remain the council’s to correct, extend or withdraw. Contributor contact details are held privately and are never shown on public pages or in structured data. Exact grave locations can be published at an adjusted precision where that is appropriate.
Reporting and maps
Councils can see how many memorials are recorded, what is published, what is awaiting review and which stories are being read, alongside a collection map covering the council area.
Commercial details
Pricing depends on the number of memorials, review support and any plaque supply. Request a discussion and we will prepare figures for your circumstances rather than quote a general rate.
