Heritage Grant<br />
For Church Point<br />
Cemetery<br />
Historic Church Point<br />
Cemetery has been allocated<br />
a $100,000 grant for heritage<br />
improvements. The funding<br />
will be provided to Northern<br />
Beaches Council as part<br />
of the NSW Government’s<br />
Heritage ‘Near Me’ grant<br />
program. Improvements<br />
will include an upgrade<br />
to the street access and<br />
pathway, landscaping,<br />
and the installation of a<br />
viewing platform, seating<br />
and heritage information<br />
signage to improve amenity<br />
and increase visitation.<br />
“This historic cemetery is<br />
a peaceful site in which<br />
visitors can explore and<br />
reflect,” local MP Rob<br />
Stokes said. “It’s a reminder<br />
of the pioneering days<br />
of our community and<br />
I’m delighted the NSW<br />
Government can assist<br />
in preserving our local<br />
heritage.” The cemetery<br />
was adjacent to the small<br />
Methodist church that stood<br />
on the site between 1872<br />
and 1932 and from which<br />
Church Point derives its<br />
name.<br />

leather bands and feature<br />
a quartz movement.<br />
Renata also added to<br />
her range of Millefiore<br />

into long rods called<br />
canes which are then<br />
sliced in cross-section<br />
revealing the layered<br />
pattern. As a Christmas<br />
