Management

Trust Members

In accordance with the Cemeteries and Crematoria Act 2003, Trust Members are appointed to their positions by the Governor in Council on the recommendation of the Minister for Health. This follows an appointment process conducted by the Department of Health and Human Services.

This type of Trust system was established in the 1800's and still forms the basis of cemetery management today. Trust Members act as custodians of the Cemetery, with their primary role to manage the Cemetery efficiently and to preserve funds for its future maintenance.

Trust Members are local residents who volunteer their time, skills and vision to the long term preservation and sustainability of the Cemetery.
