A new arbour (pergola-style passageway) was built at the Maryborough Garden of Rest Lawn Cemetery. Stage 1 of the project covered 40 metres and provides space for about 400 new ashes interments.
The project was needed to provide enough facilities for ashes interments to meet future demand.
Work started 25 March 2025 and was completed late June 2025.
Nathan Gibson Concreting was hired to build the concrete pathway, while Council’s Cemeteries staff handled the rest of the construction, including filling columns with concrete, installing timber battens, and landscaping.
The total cost of the project was $75,000.
The new arbour has created more space for ashes interments, ensuring families have a peaceful place for remembrance.
