Comments
Renewal of Cemetery Assets is funded through cemetery maintenance fees and funds renewal of all assets types within the
cemetery such as signs, fences, bins and drainage. This will continue and so no major change in asset condition over the next
10 years is projected.
However, this funding does not address the everyday maintenance of cemeteries e.g. mowing, weeding and stockpiling, which
is funded from Council’s operational budget. Complaints are regularly received about the level of maintenance and presentation
of cemeteries. This trend will continue as maintenance costs are rising faster than Council income.
Risks
Response
Exhaustion of burial rights/placements, particularly at
Springwood Cemetery;
Poor disability access throughout cemetery sites;
Alienation and sterilisation of burial locations due to poor
historical records; and
Being unable to meet community requirements with
regards to religious requirements for timing of interment.
Identify suitable sites for additional cemetery locations in the
Local Environmental Plan review, and have them zoned
compatible for cemetery use;
Ensure that new cemetery areas are accessible by people
with a disability;
Manage burial rights as industry and legislative changes take
place;
Develop staff resources to accommodate community requirements
for burials and ashes placements.
