PLANS UNDERWAY FOR WAROONA CEMETERY PARKING UPGRADE
Drakesbrook Cemetery, located in Waroona, is destined for improved parking with the Shire looking to leverage funds to improve the local amenity through the sale of land.
The Shire recently developed the Drakesbrook Cemetery Master Plan to ensure sustainable management and development of the cemetery site into the future.
Due to financial constraints in being able to fund the implementation of the Darkesbrook Cemetery Master Plan in the current budget Council approved listing Lot 5 (11) and Lot 6 (13) Mitchell Avenue, Waroona for sale at market valuation at its July meeting.
“Proceeds from the land sales will allow for the staged implementation of the Drakesbrook Cemetery Master Plan.
Considering the difficult economic times, it is important for the Shire to look at alternative methods to finance projects such as this one”, Shire President Cr Walmsley said.
