Landmark opportunity for new memorial park

A 128-hectare memorial site which will house one of Victoria’s biggest cemeteries in over 100 years has begun consultation with Melton residents.

The Greater Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust (GMCT) is seeking community feedback in developing the master plan for the new public site at Harkness.

In addition to a public cemetery, the plan will consider multi-use purposes for the site as it transitions over time to meet the burial and cremation needs of Victorians for the next 100 years.

The GMCT will engage with Melton residents over the coming months as well as key stakeholders and the site’s traditional owners to gain insight and feedback.

GMCT wants the development to reflect the needs and aspirations of the community and is looking for a diverse group of people to join its project advisory groups.
