A bronze statue of former Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews is expected to be immortalised outside government offices near Treasury Gardens in central Melbourne. This honour is reserved for premiers who have served more than 3,000 days in office, a rule introduced by former Liberal premier Jeff Kennett.

While the process is underway, details regarding the statue’s cost and precise location remain unclear.
