The Fallen Personnel Memorial honours the people who have lost their lives while working for the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning and our predecessor organisations.

We established the memorial in 2020 to pay tribute to the personnel who have died in the line of duty, whether that be

  • protecting lives
  • property
  • the environment from the threat of bushfires
  • in other lines of work, such as forestry, environmental science and land management

As part of the establishment of the memorial, 9 honour rolls have been installed at DELWP sites across Victoria listing the names of our fallen personnel.

Metropolitan and regional honour rolls

The statewide honour roll at DELWP’s Nicholson Street office in Melbourne currently lists the names of 145 personnel who died between the 1870s and early 2020.

The other 8 honour rolls have been set up at regional sites and list the names specific to a region of Victoria.

We will always honour and pay tribute to our colleagues who tragically lost their lives serving the people of Victoria.
