The Council is undertaking a deep review of the Cemetery Policy to ensure that its content is aligned with the evolving needs of the community and the challenges of a rapidly changing environment. As external pressures—such as economic shifts, demographic changes, technological advancements, and climate concerns—continue to shape our town, it is essential that our Policy framework meets the needs of the community.
This review provides an opportunity to take a step back, critically assess the effectiveness of the current policy, and identify areas where changes are needed. It also reflects the Council’s commitment to transparency, accountability, and inclusive decision-making by engaging residents in meaningful consultation. Ultimately, the goal is to strengthen the Council’s ability to deliver a high-quality Cemetery.
