INTRODUCTIONFormed in 2001, the Adelaide Cemeteries Authority is a self-funded State Government owned business entity responsible for managing four major cemeteries in the Adelaide metropolitan area. The Authority provides sensitive, high-quality burial, cremation and memorial services to the South Australian community.

Governed by a Board reporting to a Minster in the South Australian Government, the primary functions of the Authority under the Adelaide Cemeteries Authority Act 2001 are:

“The administration and maintenance of the following as public cemeteries • Cheltenham Cemetery; • EnfieldMemorialPark; • SmithfieldMemorialPark;and • West Terrace Cemetery. The administration and maintenance of any other cemetery established or acquired by the Authority; The burial or other disposal of human remains in an Authority cemetery; ActivitiesassociatedwiththeheritageorhistoricalsignificanceofanAuthoritycemetery;and AnyotherfunctionassignedtotheAuthoritybyorunderthisoranyAct,orbytheMinister.”

The Authority provides more than 3,000 burial and cremation services annually, generating over $10m in revenue that funds operating expenses and capital development at our four cemeteries. When setting annual fees and charges, the Authority seeks to balance community expectations with the necessary financial provisions for the long-term sustainability of its cemeteries. Annual surpluses are invested with Funds SA for the purpose of funding future cemetery developments and to meet long-term maintenance obligations. The Adelaide Cemeteries Authority Act 2001 (the Act) requires the Authority to prepare Plans of Management for each cemetery under its care and control. In summary, the Plans of Management must:

• Coverfive-yearperiods;

• Takeintoaccounttheheritageandhistoricalsignificanceofthecemetery; • Establish policies relating to retention or removal of existing headstones; • Establishpoliciesrelatingtothere-useofburialsites; • Establish policies relating to the scale and character of new memorials or monuments; • Establish policies relating to planting and nurturing of vegetation in the cemetery; • Consult with the relevant local government council; • ConsultwiththeadministrativeunitofthePublicServiceresponsibleforStateheritage matters; • Consult with other persons who, in the opinion of the Authority, have a particular interest in the management of the cemetery; and • If the cemetery is, or includes, a State heritage place (within the meaning of the DevelopmentAct1993),beapprovedbytheMinisterbeforeittakeseffect.

CHAIR’S MESSAGEWith links to the Authority’sStrategicPlan and Cheltenham Cemetery 20-YearMasterPlan, the Planof Management2018-2023 will support the cemetery’s ability to continue to adapt to community needs and emerging funeral trends. The Plan will also deliver improvements in the cemetery’s presentation and assist it to provide meaningful and ongoing engagement with community, cultural and religious groups.

As a publicly owned facility that provides sensitive services to the community, the Board understands the Authority’s obligations under the Adelaide Cemeteries Authority Act 2001 (the Act) to ensure that appropriate consultation has occurred for the drafting of the Plan of Management. I am pleased to advise that the consultation process that occurred for this Plan is the most comprehensive yet undertaken by the Authority. This has been facilitated by the Cheltenham Cemetery Community Consultative Committee established under the terms of the previous PlanofManagement2013-2018.

Since the late 1980s, the cemetery has continued to serve the diverse local community via careful, programmed redevelopment of existing burial areas. This is permissible under South Australian law and involves a two-year communication program that encourages families to maintain connections with older graves. A key part of the Committee’s input has been around the need to ensure that the day-to-day operations of the cemetery are at the same time respectful of its status as one of Adelaide’s oldest cemeteries and as an important historical resource.

Mindful of this, the Board of the Authority, with assistance from the Community Consultative Committee, has continued the task of identifying graves at Cheltenham Cemetery that are worthy of conservation. Such assessments are not only based upon the monumentation on each grave, but also on those who are buried in them.

The Board looks forward to seeing improvements in the cemetery’s facilities and presentation through the implementation of this Plan over the next five years.

CONSULTATION PROCESSAs a South Australian State Government business entity, the Adelaide Cemeteries Authority is committed to effective stakeholder and community engagement.

Community consultation is pivotal. It allows the Authority to assess the community’s needs and wishes, while at the same time communicating the administration’s plans and decision-making processes to interested individuals, stakeholder groups and the wider community.

These conversations also enable the Authority to expand its thinking around what the Cheltenham Cemetery can provide and to imagine other ways to position it in the life of the local community. This is of particular importance when it comes to developing a long-term program to develop the cemetery’s facilities and services.

To this end, a range of stakeholders have been consulted for the preparation of this Plan of Management (See page 6).

The Authority’s commitment to community engagement is not new. A key outcome of the previous PlansofManagement has been an improved awareness and understanding of community, religious and ethnic groups who use each cemetery. The Authority has also identified emerging and developing communities that will potentially require cemetery facilities in the future. This is of particular relevance in Adelaide’s western suburbs where recent censuses have identified clear demographic changes.

The Cheltenham Cemetery Community Consultative Committee was established in 2014, to provide sound feedback and insights into local thinking about the cemetery. Committees have now been es-tablished for each of the Authority’s four cemeteries, reflecting its commitment to genuine community engagement. The appointment of a full-time Community Engagement Consultant in 2016 further supports this commitment.

The Cheltenham Cemetery Community Consultative Committee meets 2-3 times per year. It comprises representatives from:

• Elected members of the City of Charles Sturt; • Anglican Church of St Margaret; • The Woodville Historical Society; • The Port Adelaide Historical Society; • The Port Adelaide Enfield Council’s Local History Officer; • Le Fevre High School; and• Woodville High School.

Underpinning the consultation process was a survey of funeral directors undertaken in March 2017. Their responses have been considered in the drafting of all PlansofManagement.

Input from the various stakeholders has directly guided the tasks and actions outlined in the plan for implementation. Feedback has been considered, along with balancing the logistical and financial imperatives of operations, and the practical, cultural, spiritual and emotional needs of the community. This is central to the thinking required for long-term sustainable cemetery management.

It is also pivotal to the Authority’s ability to continue to provide burial services to the western Adelaide community via the careful redevelopment of existing burial areas in a planned and sensitive manner that also respects the character of the cemetery.

OVERVIEW At the time of its establishment with the burial of Hannah Wheatley Mussared of Le Fevre Peninsula on 27 July 1876, Cheltenham Cemetery served a community comprising a collection of small discrete villages and the busy maritime precinct of Port Adelaide. Much has changed in the years since. The villages turned rapidly into suburbs, activity at the Port ebbed and flowed, and available space at the cemetery was soon depleted resulting in decreased revenue and the problem of how to fund its maintenance.

Neglect and cases of vandalism had caused public outcry by the first decades of the 20th century. Re-ports about the cemetery’s unkempt state appeared regularly in Adelaide’s newspapers, with one journal-ist describing it as “virtually abandoned to the wild caprice of nature”(TheMail,25October1919). This was typical of complaints levelled at many public cemeteries at the time, as the responsible councils were reluctant – or unable – to look after them. Cheltenham Cemetery was expanded substantially in 1937, but even with this addition available space again ran out by the 1950s, at which time it effectively ceased op-erations and fell back into neglect.

The Enfield General Trust decided to take over Cheltenham Cemetery from the Port Adelaide Council in 1987, following State Government reforms that allowed the redevelopment of expired burial sites. South Australia was the first to pass such legislation and Cheltenham became the first cemetery in Australia to reuse gravesites. The initial stages of this program, however, jarred with public sensibilities and were widely criticised , giving cemetery operators then and since valuable lessons in the need for clear lines of communication and effective community consultation.

In 2002, Cheltenham became one of four metropolitan cemeteries administered by the Adelaide Ceme-teries Authority. Since that time, community engagement has been a pivotal part of the cemetery’s opera-tions. This includes informing family members and descendants in a timely manner about the cemetery’s intentions to reuse a gravesite, ensuring they are given the opportunity to renew interment rights if they wish. The establishment of a Community Consultative Committee under the terms of the Plan of Man-agement 2013-2018 has been key to management’s commitment to work closely with the community and ensure that the necessary lines of communication about the cemetery. Maintaining Cheltenham as a functioning cemetery necessitates continual care and improvement of its grounds and facilities to en-

sure its smooth running and the comfort and safety of visitors. To this end management has carried out a number of capital works projects that will continue through the life of this plan. It has upgraded kerbs and resealed roads B, C, and D, upgraded the irrigation system, and a long-term program to repair and upgrade the 17.5 kilometres of concrete paths through the cemetery.

In order to increase the cemetery’s visibility and improve its public profile, management also plans to upgrade the Port Road frontage and update entrance signage. In response to anecdotal reports, in May 2017, market research was undertaken to assess the viability of the cemetery’s mausoleum crypts. This confirmed that there was a significant level of public demand. It also alerted management to the need for greater community awareness of the cemetery and its facilities.

At present, more than 40 per cent of all burials at Cheltenham are in re-used sites. While the practice continues to be difficult for some members of the public to accept, it provides space for around 300 interments each year, allowing the cemetery to continue to serve the needs of the local community and play a part in its cultural life.

CHELTENHAM CEMETERY

Here I lie contented / Although my bones are rotten

I’m free from all the cares of life / And soon to be forgotten.

And to the dust from whence I came / And nothing more I know.

Although in life I’ve heard about / The fiery realms below.

And those who told me knew no more / Than I and all have known

And from the dust none have returned / That secret to make known.

(Epitaph on the headstone of John Alexander Walker)

More details on the location of Cheltenham Cemetery and transport services to the cemetery can be sourced at: www.aca.sa.gov.au/Find-Us

Cemeteries are open-air archives rich with stories of happiness, tragedy, family, friendship, romance, heroism and everyday endeavour. They chart attitudes to death over history and the changing ways lives have been memorialised.

HERITAGE & HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCEThe Authority takes its custodial role seriously and is committed to preserving its archives and as much of its material culture as possible. This entails exploring new ways to present archival information to make it more readily accessible and further enhance the visitor experience.

The re-use of grave sites has been accompanied by recognition of the value of the cemetery and its monuments to genealogical and cultural history. All sites are thoroughly documented prior to re-use and 2014 state legislation now ensures that all cemetery records are kept permanently. To facilitate access to this information and to assist with navigation through the cemetery and the location of gravesites, the Authority will install a new information touchscreen and provide onsite digital access to records.

Surveys and assessments of graves and monuments are regularly carried out by a team of volunteers, with advice from State Heritage. To date, one site has been found to be of State Heritage significance, 14 have been placed on the City of Charles Sturts’ local council heritage list, and 39 have been added to the Authority’s SignificantPlacesList. A further 70 potential sites have been identified by the Cheltenham Cemetery Community Consultation Committee, which is reviewing them & making recommendations to the Authority’s Heritage and Monument Committee.

Cheltenham Cemetery also contains the graves of 347 recognised returned service personnel. These are managed and maintained by the Office of Australian War Graves (OAWG), a section of the Federal Department of Veteran’s Affairs. The entitlement of a returned service person to have their grave maintained by the OAWG is clearly prescribed in Federal Department of Veteran’s Affairs guidelines.

The Authority is committed to preserving and maintaining as many heritage sites as possible and to ensuring that the cemetery continues to develop its role as a community cultural resource. The commencement of an Adopt-A-Grave Scheme at the cemetery in partnership with Woodville High School and Le Fevre High School is an important step in this direction. This is based on a similar scheme that has run successfully at the West Terrace Cemetery since 2012, in that students choose a grave to research and care for.

Some of the sites on the Authority’s SignificantPlacesList mark the graves of prominent individuals or those who lost their lives in extraordinary circumstances. Others are especially noteworthy examples of the monumental mason’s craft or, like that of Hannah Mussared, are significant to the history of the cemetery itself. Many more are important reminders of the rich maritime history of Port Adelaide and the people from all around the world who docked there.

YOSHIKUMA KAWAKAMI

Among the most fascinating of these, is that of Yoshikuma Kawakami, a cadet in the Japanese Imperial Navy, who died aged 21 on 22 April 1887 while on board the Corvette Ryujo as it made its way to Semaphore.

Kawakami’s grave, and those of two Japanese sail-ors killed in a boiler explosion while their ship was moored at Port Adelaide in March 1929, continue to be the subject of official visits by Japanese diplomats and other representatives, most recently in Septem-ber 2017. To date, the grave of Yoshikuma Kawakami is the only site at Cheltenham to be listed on the State Heritage Register where it is described as ‘a rare and endangered site, which is important to the understanding of the diverse social and cultural heritage of South Australia’.

PRIVATE PATRICK WEIR

A site added to the Authority’s Significant Places List is the monument dedicated to the memory of Private Patrick Weir who was killed in action in France in 1918. This features the wooden cross that marked his grave on the battlefield, brought home and embed-ded in the central section of the Weir family plot. The cross was later covered by a sheet of perspex, but this was not enough to pro-tect it from serious water damage. In 2015, the Authority employed conservation spe-cialist Artlab Australia to assess and conserve the cross, and the decision was made to install a replica in its place and to put the original cross on display at the military museum at the Keswick barracks.

Alongside Private Weir’s monument is the grave of his father, Captain Patrick Weir. Captain Weir was Port Adelaide’s harbormaster from 1915-1925, an accomplished navigator and ama-teur mathematician whose “Azimuth Diagram”, conceived in 1890, is still used by navigators

ADELAIDE CEMETERIES AUTHORITY HERITAGE & MONUMENT COMMITTEE

In addition to taking the advice of the relevant local, state, and national bodies responsible for deter-mining historical and heritage value, The Act sets a requirement for the Authority to have its own Heri-tage and Monument Committee, with the following functions:

“To advise the Authority on heritage and historical matters relating to Authority cemeteries; ToadvisetheAuthorityonactivitiesassociatedwiththeheritageorhistoricalsignificanceof Authority cemeteries; To advise the Authority on the establishment and implementation of policies relating to monuments, headstones and memorials; AnyotherfunctionassignedtotheCommitteebyorunderthisAct,orbytheMinisterorthe Authority.”

The committee is a formal sub-committee of the Board of Management of the Authority.

CHELTENHAM CEMETERY

Monumentation throughout Cheltenham Cemetary often reflects the strong maritime links with Port Adelaide.

SIGNIFICANT PLACES POLICYIn April 2011, following a recommendation from the Heritage & Monument Committee, the Board adopt-ed the Authority’s first SignificantPlacesPolicy. It applies across the four cemeteries administered by the Authority and seeks to draw together the four functions noted in Clause 19 (4) of the Act. The objective of this policy, (originally drafted as the Authority’s Heritage Policy) is to conserve built facilities, monuments and sites of significance to the Adelaide Cemeteries Authority at each of the cemeteries it manages for the benefit of present and future generations.

To do this, the Authority established a SignificantPlacesList to identify monuments, places, sites, cemetery features and historical documents for conserving and preservation. It is the role of the Authority’s Heritage & Monument Committee to identify, evaluate and recommend items for inclusion on the list to the Authority’s Board. Individuals or organisations may also make recommendations for inclusion on this list.

The term SignificantPlacesList was preferred for the Authority’s heritage list to avoid confusion between the Authority’s policy and existing statutory heritage related legislation.

As part of the redevelopment process, the heritage value of each grave and monument is assessed according to a range of criteria. If initially identified as having some potential heritage value, a site is referred to the Heritage and Monument Committee for evaluation against the criteria of the SignificantPlacesPolicy.

In August 2012, the Committee identified monuments, buildings and features at Cheltenham Cemetery to be considered for inclusion on its SignificantPlacesList. In August 2017, the Board endorsed the listing of 38 sites.

In 2013, the Cheltenham Cemetery Community Consultative Committee identified a further 84 sites for consideration. The Heritage & Monument Committee is methodically working through this list, assessing the significant research and background supporting information provid-ed. In addition, it is a requirement of the Authority’s Significant Places Policy for poten-tial heritage sites to be identified as part of the annual grave redevelopment program at Cheltenham Cemetery.

The Significant Places Policy is available at www.aca.sa.gov.au/About-Us/Reports-Plans-Policies

This policy states:“All areas scheduled for redevelopment must be inspected and their heritage value assessed for considerationforinclusionontheAuthority’spriortothecommencementoftheredevelopmentworks.”

The work of the Cheltenham Community Consultative Committee and assessment of sites prior to rede-velopment has seen a number of additional grave sites added to the SignificantPlacesList. Details are provided over the following pages.

Sites still in tenure identified for inclusion on the Authority’s Significant Places List are placed on a “Holding List” until such time they become out of tenure.

PREVIOUS PLAN OF MANAGEMENT 2013 – 2018REVIEW OF ACTIONS

The previous PlanofManagement covering the period July 2013 to June 2018 had 62 actions identified under the following four headings:

• Product Development (9 Actions);• Community (12);• Heritage (11); and• Infrastructure (30)

As at 31 October 2017;

• 48 actions have been completed (78%);• 11 are in progress(17%); and• 3 have not started(5%)

KEY ACHIEVEMENTS

The period July 2013 to June 2018 saw a number of actions of the previous PlanofManagement for Cheltenham Cemetery completed. Some of these achievements are visible, while others, although less so, are no less important for the future of this cemetery. They include the following:

• Upgrading the kerb and roadway on Drive B. This was a major task that included the installation of parking bays which enable vehicles to pass each other.

• Upgrading the water mains and irrigation system throughout the cemetery.

• Physical measurement to identify that there are 17.5 kilometres of concrete paths throughout the cemetery. During the life of the previous Plan of Management, approximately 500 metres of path was replaced and other sections evaluated as posing high risks to visitors were repaired.

• Installation of additional vaults in the Tranquillity Corner area.

• The completion of a detailed business case to identify the viability and how best to provide mausoleum crypts at Cheltenham Cemetery. The recommendations are included in this Plan.

• The replacement of plant and equipment to improve operational efficiencies. Of particular note is the replacement of the tractor & trailer units previously used to transport soil for grave digging operations, with a custom-built articulated side-tipping unit. The Authority was acknowledged for this innovation with a National Safety Council of Australia award in 2015.

• Implementation of the annual Expired Sites and Grave Redevelopment programs to ensure the ongoing provision of burial plots.

• Completion of a self-guided walking tour of the cemetery

• Establishment of annual Adopt-A-Grave Scheme programs with students form the Le Fevre and the Woodville High Schools.

• Establishment of the Cheltenham Cemetery Community Consultation Committee.

PREVIOUS PLAN OF MANAGEMENT 2013 – 2018DIGITAL PRESENCE

The on-line presence of Cheltenham Cemetery has been significantly enhanced via the upgrading of the Adelaide Cemeteries Authority website. Qualitative information and images of the cemetery are now readily accessible at www.aca.sa.gov.au

TASKS NOT YET COMPLETED

All the tasks in the CheltenhamCemetery2013 -2018 that have been evaluated as being either “In Progress” or “Not Started” have been referred for consideration for inclusion in this Plan. These tasks, many of which are recurrent in the former Plan, include: • Enhancement of the cemetery’s Port Road frontage;• Where possible and appropriate, the planting of additional trees throughout the cemetery;• More seating in the cemetery;• Upgrading of the perimeter garden beds.

CHELTENHAM CEMETERY

Redeveloped Burial Section Cheltenham Cemetery

IMPLEMENTATION PLANS 2018 – 2023Projects and actions to be undertaken at Cheltenham Cemetery between 1 July 2018 and 30 June 2023 are listed in the tables in the following pages. Each table provides a list of the actions for each financial year of the five-year PlanofManagement.

In keeping with the previous format, actions identified in the 2018-2023PlansofManagement have been listed under the following headings:

• Product Development • Community• Heritage • Infrastructure

To reflect the growing importance and relevance of information technology and communications, a fifth heading “Digital Transformation” has been added for each of the years 2018-2023.

SUMMARY OF ACTIONS

As with each cemetery’s Plan ofManagement, actions and projects for Cheltenham Cemetery have been considered with due reference to the Adelaide Cemetery Authority’s overarching business priorities for the next five years. With respect to Cheltenham Cemetery, the following assumptions have guided the drafting of the actions and projects outlined over the following pages. • Cheltenham Cemetery will continue to provide about 300 burial interments per annum.• To meet the ongoing community demand for grave sites, the Authority has a forward program to redevelop over 200 expired sites per annum.• The Authority will continue to work with the cemetery’s Community Consultative Committee to identify significant grave sites for conservation. This process will occur both as part of, and in addition to, annual grave redevelopment programs.• During the life of this Plan (July 2018 to June 2023), the existing on-site operations workshop and compound will not be relocated. It is recognised that the relocation of this facility is likely to occur within the ensuing decade.• An above ground mausoleum crypt precinct will be established within the cemetery.• Underground concrete vaults will continue to be provided at Cheltenham Cemetery.

KEY PROJECTS IN THE PLAN OF MANAGEMENT 2018-2023

Key projects identified for the five-year period commencing 1 July 2018 include: • Design, planning and construction of an above ground mausoleum crypt precinct. In “L Section” off Drive C in the middle of the cemetery.• Upgrading and resealing of Drive A;• Ongoing implementation of the annual interment right renewal program; • Ongoing implementation of the annual grave redevelopment program; • Participation in “The Headstone Project”, a national initiative that seeks to identify unmarked graves of ex-service personnel. Cheltenham Cemetery has been ear marked for review within the coming years.

Drive B is the only road way lined with trees on both sides in the cemetery. Consultation for this plan has found the community desire for more trees throughout Cheltenham Cemetery. Any planting would have to be of an appropriate species in locations that do not impact upon graves & their monumentation.

ADELAIDE CEMETERIES AUTHORITY ACTUnder the requirements of the Act, a PlanofManagementmust include proof of the establishment of policies relating to the:

• Retention or removal of existing headstones;• Re-use of burial sites;• Scale and character of new memorials or monuments; and• Planting and nurturing of vegetation in the cemetery.

The revision of OPE003Re-UseofBurialandCremationSites is underpinned by the changes to the Burial and Cremation Act 2013 (SA) and to the Burial and Cremation Regulations 2014 (SA).

Specific provisions for cemetery authorities to re-use graves are prescribed in:

• Section 38 of the Burial and Cremation Act 2013, (entitled “Re-Use of Interment Sites”); Section 42 of the Burial and Cremation Act 2013, (entitled “Power of relevant authority to dispose of unclaimed memorial”);• Regulation 33 of the Burial and Cremation Regulations 2014 (also entitled “Re-Use of Interment Sites”); and• Regulation 42 of the Burial and Cremation Regulations 2014 (entitled “Disposal of unclaimed memorials”).

The provisions within these Sections of the Act and in the Regulations, were drawn directly from the Adelaide Cemeteries Authority’s former version of OPE003Re-UseofBurialandCremationSites. To this end, the drafting of the Burial and Cremation Act in 2013 and the Burial and Cremation Regulations in 2014 drew directly upon the Authority’s former policies and practices.

• Planting and Nurturing of Vegetation policies are unique to each individual cemetery, details are provided in the following pages.• COR016–SignificantPlacesPolicy is relevant to all four areas of policy requirements)

Relevant policies sections are referenced throughout the Plans of Management full copies of Authority policies are available on request or from our website www.aca.sa.gov.au.

CHELTENHAM CEMETERY

37

ADELAIDE CEMETERIES AUTHORITY POLICIESPolicyOPE005MonumentsandMemorials provides standards and specifications for memorial structures for respective sections within each cemetery.

BothOPE003Re-UseofBurial and CremationSitesandOPE005MonumentsandMemorials policies were reviewed by the Authority’s Heritage and Monument Committee in August 2017 as part of the drafting of the Plans of Management.

However, there may be further amendments to OPE005MonumentsandMemorials policy as a result of the 2017 Standards Australia current review of AS4425-1996AboveGroundBurialStructuresandAS4204-1994HeadstonesandCemeterymonuments. As of September 2017 the Authority is represented on a working committee that is reviewing and revising theses standards. Following the completion of the review the new updated standards will apply and the Authority will review OPE005MonumentsandMemorialswith reference to the new standards.

Relevant policies sections are referenced throughout the Plans of Management full and up-to-date copies of Authority policies are available on the Authority’s website www.aca.sa.gov.au.

RETENTION OR REMOVAL OF EXISTING HEADSTONESSpecific provisions for cemetery authorities to re-use graves are prescribed in the following sections of the Burial and Cremation Act 2013 and the Burial and Cremation Regulations 2014. The Act and Regula-tionsunderpintheAuthority’spolicyOPE003Re-UseofBurialandCremationSites:

• Section 38 of the BurialandCremationAct2013,(entitled“Re-UseofIntermentSites”);

• Section 42 of theBurialandCremationAct2013,(entitled“Powerofrelevantauthorityto disposeofunclaimedmemorial”);

• Regulation 33 of the BurialandCremationRegulations2014(alsoentitled“Re-UseofInterment Sites”);and

• Regulation 42 of the Burial and Cremation Regulations 2014 (entitled “Disposal of unclaimed memorials”). The Authority is underpinned by the Burial and Cremation Act 2013(S.A.) and the Burial and Cremation Regulations 2014 (S.A.).

An appendix of OPE003 lists the former “Pauper’s Graves” within Cheltenham Cemetery where inter-ments took place but no interment right (formerly licence, lease or grant) was ever issued. This list notes the sites of these “Pauper’s Graves” (now known as “State Assisted Funerals”), and records the date of interment. This is relevant because prior to 1946, all graves at Cheltenham Cemetery were issued with 99- year interment rights but post-1946 tihs became 50 year interment rights. This in turn informs the recognised expiry for this list of sites where no interment right was issued.

38

CHELTENHAM CEMETERY

RE-USE OF BURIAL SITES

As noted, the revision of OPE003Re-UseofBurialandCremationSites is informed by the changes to the Burial and Cremation Act 2013 (S.A.) and to the Burial and Cremation Regulations 2014 (S.A.). The legislation now prescribes specific procedures and compliance requirements for cemetery authorities that elect to reclaim and re-use expired tenure interment sites.

Since the 1950s, Cheltenham Cemetery has officially had no fallow land for new sites. The exception is the site of the former Curator’s House. On the corner of High Street and Port Road. The house was demolished in 2008, and the following year a premium underground concrete vault section, “Tranquillity Corner” as established. The last remaining fallow burial ground within the land zoned for cemetery use within the cemetery now resides beneath the existing, on-site operations compound and sheds. This is located in the south-western corner of the cemetery near Port Road.

As noted, when the former Enfield General Cemetery Trust agreed to take over responsibility for the cemetery from the former Port Adelaide Council, it was predicated on the provision that the Trust would be permitted to undertake grave re-use as permitted by the then LocalGovernmentAct1934. Following some early challenges and community concerns, the Authority has now developed a sound practice for the redevelopment and re-use of interment sites where the right of interment has expired.

The process for re-using and redeveloping sites is a lengthy one, as required by the new Burial and Cremation Legislation introduced in February 2014. The legislation adopted many of the Authority’s existing practices and its policy relating to the procedure for identifying, notifying and redeveloping graves.

CHELTENHAM CEMETERY FIVE YEAR GRAVE REDEVELOPMENT PLANGiven the public consultation and timelines required for grave re-use in South Australian legislation, the Authority has programmed a long-term schedule for the redevelopment of graves at Cheltenham Cemetery.

A copy of the sections of Cheltenham Cemetery marked for redevelopment over the next five years is provided in the aerial image on page 10.

The Burial and Cremation Regulations 2014 contains two regulations concerning monuments and memorials that are directly applicable to the Authority’s procedure for the re-use and redevelopment of grave sites:

• Regulation 34 - DisposalofUnclaimedMemorials; and

• Regulation 36 - Registers,RecordsandPlanstobekeptbyRelevantAuthorities (Section 53 of Act)

These Regulations are also based on previous policies and practices of the Authority that have been retained and amended to comply with the new legislation.

39

CHELTENHAM CEMETERY

SCALE AND CHARACTER OF NEW MEMORIALS OR MONUMENTSTo ensure monuments installed throughout the Authority’s cemeteries are appropriate for each specific area, the Authority defines the dimensions and character of new burial memorials.

CHELTENHAM CEMETERY

PLANTING AND NURTURING OF VEGETATION IN THE CEMETERIES

All Authority cemeteries’ garden beds are irrigated with sub-surface drip systems, as are most turf areas in memorial gardens. Aside from the need for irrigation, each cemetery managed by the Authority is unique.

A summary of the vegetation principles at Cheltenham Cemetery is provided below:

• Cheltenham Cemetery has developed without planned or schematic or themed planting of trees and shrubs;

• There is limited vegetation throughout the cemetery;

• There is no remnant or indigenous vegetation remaining in the cemetery. Anecdotally, the old ash trees on the grounds were planted from saplings that grew from former street trees on verges around the cemetery; • The age and size of these trees means they are classified as “regulated” or significant trees under the Development Act 1993. Therefore, while some of the trees are causing damage to graves and monuments, development approval is required for their removal; • The Authority has no plans to remove any trees during the planning period unless a tree becomes a hazard or dies;

• The Authority will identify and record GPS locations of all trees within the Cheltenham Cemetery during the life of this Plan; • The Authority is committed to installing irrigated turf when redeveloping burial areas. This practice will continue for the duration of the life of this Plan, and beyond; and

• Drought tolerant turf species are used when undertaking cemetery redevelopment works.

Panaroma Drive D, Cheltenham Cemetery

CHELTENHAM CEMETERY

As noted in the Implementation Tables, it is intended that, in response to surveys and community feedback, more trees will be planted throughout Cheltenham Cemetery. The plantings will be planned and undertaken in a coordinated manner to ensure that the location and selected species of trees do not present a long-term risk to existing monuments.

There is no preference for indigenous or exotic tree species. Each location where a tree might be planted will be evaluated:

a) to determine if it is an appropriate location;

b) to determine what type of tree would be appropriate for that location; and

c) to undertake a schematic planting of the particular species or size of tree chosen.
