Park memorial plan for little Sam
Landsdale toddler Sam Trott and a city's desperate efforts to save him will be honoured with a memorial at Sam's favourite park.
The blond-haired, blue-eyed autistic boy went missing from his Walbrook Mews home on the morning of Tuesday, December 9. Despite a long public search, police divers found his body the next day in Snake Swamp at Warradale Park, just 600m from home.
Wanneroo council voted this week to set aside $150,000 in its 2015-16 draft budget to build a memorial at Warradale Park.
The City of Wanneroo will work with the Trott family in the coming weeks to draft a design that recognises Sam's legacy of love and community spirit.
Wanneroo mayor Tracey Roberts said a meaningful memorial was one way for the community to show its unity with the Trott family.
