The Pine Lodge cemetery has almost reached capacity and needs to extend the current site for future use.
Greater Shepparton City Council on behalf of the Pine Lodge Cemetery Trust, is asking community members to make suggestions on what they would like to see at Pine Lodge cemetery which will be included in the master plan design. Suggestions can be made on the council website.
If you have ever thought about where you would like to be laid to rest or what type of setting you like or things you would like to see included in the surrounding area then the survey provides an opportunity to have your say.
If you are willing to make a video about your thoughts on the Pine Lodge cemetery Council has 10 cameras available which you can keep once the video is submitted. Simply enter your details online and we will send you out the camera so you can film your story about the Pine Lodge Cemetery.
Director Infrastructure Steve Bowmaker “this isn’t something people think of every day, until we lose someone dear to us. We are aware this is a sensitive topic, but this is a once in a generation opportunity for community members to provide feedback on what they would like to see included as part of the future development for the Pine Lodge Cemetery”.
“Once we have community member’s feedback we will draft the Master Plan which will be available to be reviewed by the community for any further comments and feedback”.
“We are also making 10 cameras available to 10 people to video their suggestions and thoughts about the Pine Lodge Cemetery, and yes you can keep the camera. Simply go to the council’s website and fill out some questions on Citizen Journalism then we will review your answers, and if successful, we will contact you and post the camera for you to get started. You also need to be available for any further comments after you have submitted your video”.
To provide your input there are six ways you can get involved in the design process and stay up to date with project developments.
Date and times are still to be confirmed, for the pop ups, community exchange workshop and draft master plan follow social media for updates.
