The Administration Building Forecourt is a heritage-listed garden and memorial precinct at Morea Close, West Island, Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Australia. It was added to the Australian Commonwealth Heritage List on 22 June 2004.[1]
Description
The formal front garden area to the Administration Building comprises a grassed square with a row of palms and includes an anchor and three memorials enclosed with white concrete bollards, a white chain and flagpole. The group of memorials depict various events associated with the history and strategic location of the islands: the anchor is from the Port Refuge, salvaged 1981; one plaque commemorates the action between the Sydney and the Emden in the Battle of Cocos, another commemorates Flying Officer Tom Henniken, 10 Squadron RAAF, aboard Orion A9-754, ditched 25/4/91. The plaque was unveiled by survivors in 1992. Another plaque, unveiled 1994, commemorates R Mech. P Challinor, Royal Navy, killed 1944 in a Japanese air attack, and buried nearby.[1]
The forecourt provides a symbolic location for ceremonial events such as ANZAC Day.[1]
In 2000 the condition was assessed as good.[1]
