Melbourne's makeshift memorial to victims of the Bourke Street rampage will be removed and the tributes preserved.
Premier Daniel Andrews and Lord Mayor Robert Doyle said the tribute on the steps of the General Post Office would begin to be removed from 10.30 on Tuesday morning with officials to keep photos, teddy bears and messages.
All flowers at the site normally occupied by shoppers and buskers will be mulched and used at the Victims of Crime memorial near state parliament.
Mr Andrews also announced that the Bourke Street fund had raised nearly $1 million.
His annual charity golf day at Royal Melbourne, which is to be played on Monday afternoon, will also split its projected $200,000 between the Bourke Street fund and the Good Friday appeal.
Money from the Bourke Street fund, which has received $100,000 from both the state and federal government, will be available to the families of the deceased; any extra funds may be distributed to others victims after a three-person board meet.
Compensation for other victims and witnesses is available through the Transport Accident Commission, victims of crime compensation and Worksafe.
The Premier last week met with the family of one of the victims, who told him the deceased's employer had paid for all their costs, which might mean there are surplus funds.
The Lord Mayor said all efforts would be made to preserve the tributes by the Salvation Army and Red Cross and some tributes may be electronically scanned.
A permanent memorial is still under consideration, with Cr Doyle saying a garden was an appropriate place of reflection.
