Plans underway for bronze sculpture honouring former Victorian premier Daniel Andrews

Attempts are in progress to honour former

Victorian premier

Daniel Andrews with a

bronze sculpture

in CBD, a suburb in the city of

Melbourne

, recognising his 3000 days in office.
Andrews became eligible for a statue in February last year under a policy started in the 1990s by former Liberal premier

Jett Kennett

, aimed at recognising premiers who served for 3000 days.

According to the

Herald Sun

, planning has been started and is already underway.
A Victorian government spokesperson confirmed, "The process of installing a statue of former premier Daniel Andrews, who served over 3000 days in office, is under way, and the

Department of Premier and Cabinet

has provided a brief to government initiating this."

Andrews stepped down from his roles as premier and Mulgrave MP in September last year. He served nearly nine years as premier and over two decades in politics, becoming Labor's longest-serving premier of Victoria last year.
Andrews will join

Albert Dunstan

, Henry Bolte, Rupert Hamer, and John Cain Jr, who also have sculptures by sculptor

Peter Corlett

at 1 Treasury Place.
The responsibility for these statues falls under the government that comes into power after the premier's departure.
