Gladstone Region Cemetery Plan 2022
The Gladstone Region Cemetery Plan has been developed to inform an action plan for Council controlled cemeteries, crematorium and memorial parkland facilities (the cemetery network) and sets the future direction for cemeteries within the Gladstone Region.
Council’s vision for our cemeteries is to deliver cemetery services which meet the needs of the community and are affordable for all.
Council has identified a number of opportunities / actions required in certain target areas that will enhance the delivery of cemetery services across our cemetery network. These opportunities will be progressed through Council’s Investment Decision Framework (IDF).
To view the action plan, please view pages 20-23 of the 2022 Gladstone Region Cemetery Plan.
