After today’s developments, the Waverly Council has decided to remove the vast collection of tributes as discussions for establishing a permanent memorial are underway.

“The conversations about creating a lasting tribute will take place at a future time,” stated Waverly Mayor Will Nemesh.

Notices have been placed around the Bondi Pavilion, informing the public that the removal process is set to commence on December 22.

“The Sydney Jewish Museum and the Australian Jewish Historical Society will assist in gathering and preserving the materials,” according to the information displayed on the signs.

The council will collaborate with the premier’s department, following a process akin to the one implemented after the Bondi Junction incidents in April last year.

It plans to “respectfully” dispose of flowers, while donating any toys.

Some cards and notes will be kept, while others will be recycled.

While the council is mulling over the idea of a permanent memorial, it is also discussing whether to remove the footbridge the shooters used to commit the terror attack.

It’s argued it could be a painful reminder for the community of the country’s worst mass shooting since 1996.

But, the mayor said, nothing is confirmed.

“At this stage the bridge will remain where it is for now,” Nemesh said.
