Monuments
Maintenance of headstones and monuments in the monumental cemeteries are the responsibility of the burial rights holder. Council may conduct works to make an area safe but will not undertake repairs should a monument be damaged, vandalised or fall into disrepair.
All work on monuments must be undertaken by a qualified stonemason. Complete the Application for permission to undertake monumental works(PDF, 202KB) and submit with appropriate fee.
