The review will consider the rights and responsibilities of all stakeholders to ensure clarity, fairness, and effective cemetery management. 

The goal is to engage the public and key stakeholders in shaping a set of bye-laws that will serve the community for the next five years.

The updated bye-laws will align with relevant legislation and regulations, clearly outline key provisions, and incorporate feedback from the consultation process.

Following this consultation, submissions will be reviewed, and a draft of the revised Cemetery Bye Laws will be published for further public feedback before final approval by the Council.
