Consultation has concluded
Adelaide Hills Council recognises that some families have a desire to bury a deceased relative on a privately owned property that has significance to the deceased person or their family.
The Council acknowledges the need for requirements to ensure that a burial on privately owned land is undertaken in an appropriate location and ensures the long term identification of the burial site to limit the likelihood of those buried remains being disturbed in the future.
A draft policy has been prepared which establishes how applications for burials outside of cemeteries are to be assessed and authorisation granted by the Council. The approval process is intended to guide how the interests of the deceased person, relatives and friends, landowners and Council are to be considered and protected.
The development of this policy has taken into account the requirements of the Burial and Cremation Act 2013 and the Burial and Cremation Regulations 2014.
A copy of the draft policy is available in the document library right of page. Please complete the form below to leave your feedback.
