Cemeteries Management Plan and Masterplan

The Cemeteries and Crematoria Regulation 2022 introduced a scheme of licensing conditions for all providers of burials and interments. As part of the introduction of this scheme, Council was required to develop a Management Plan for the seven cemeteries it is licensed to operate to comply with the new regulations.

Sala4D – landscape architecture and urban design, were engaged to prepare both the Management Plan and Masterplan on behalf of Council.

A key aim of the Masterplan was to strengthen sense of place and utilise its inherent natural features and views, thereby promoting the desirability of each cemetery, as well as being an inviting place for people to mourn and reflect, well into the future. The Masterplan will also inform the development of each cemetery over the next many decades. It also recognises current trends in terms of burials and associated bereavement services.
