The flowers cards, balloons, candles and other tributes left by Bondi Beach after the shooting which killed 15 people have been cleared away.

In the aftermath of a tragic week filled with heartfelt tributes from family, friends, dignitaries, and local residents, efforts are now underway to restore the area to its usual state. These gestures were in honor of those lost in a recent attack.

Like previous incidents such as the Bondi Junction stabbing and the Lindt Cafe siege, certain mementos will be preserved as part of a lasting memorial to commemorate the victims.

The New South Wales Government has collaborated with Waverley Council and the Jewish community to thoughtfully manage the removal of these tributes.

The majority of memorials are located around the Pavilion, adjacent to the park that witnessed Australia’s deadliest terror attack. Additional tributes have been placed on the bridge where the assailants were positioned, as well as along the beachfront.

Others were left on the bridge where the shooters stood, and on the beachfront.

“The outpouring of support at the temporary Bondi Beach floral tribute site (behind the Bondi Pavilion) has been overwhelming and is a heartfelt representation of the empathy the community has for the victims, their families and survivors,” the NSW Government said.

“We will ensure photographs are captured and will collect a representation of materials from the floral tribute site to preserve and use in future memorial materials for the families as appropriate.

“The Jewish Museum will collect cards and other non-perishable items.”

However while the area in front of Bondi Pavilion was cleared by Monday lunchtime, some new flowers were being left by visitors.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was met with boos from parts of a crowd gathered at Bondi Beach as they marked exactly one week after Australia’s worst terror attack.

For NSW Premier Chris Minns there was a standing ovation.
