Tender Details
Tender Description
Council is asking for Expressions of Interest from people interested in selling or donating land for a natural burial site.
The vision for a natural burial ground is an area that will combine a natural burial ground with a bush regeneration site where the community can have input into the management of environmental outcomes.
Key considerations for suitable land:
- Zoned RU2
- Ideally degraded paddock with no or minimal trees.
- Have road access and space for parking.
- Be accessible to people living with disability.
- Sufficient soil depth to allow the top of a casket to be at least 900mm below the natural surface of the ground.
- Location would be away from residential areas and not visible from neighbouring areas.
- Have a minimum 100m separation from water courses, drinking water supplies or domestic water supplies.
- No bushfire or flood risk.
- Not a heritage site, heavily vegetated or habitat for threatened species.
- Have no existing structures that are costly to remove or cannot used.
