Proposed sale of the Wollongong Crematorium, Unanderra

Council is seeking feedback from the community on a proposal to sell the Wollongong Crematorium Business.

As part of a strategic plan for its Crematorium and Cemeteries, Council is proposing to retain the land at the Wollongong Crematorium and sell the business. Whilst cemeteries are considered core business for Councils, only six Councils in NSW, including Wollongong, operate crematoriums. All other crematoriums are private businesses.

Two community forums will be held during September to provide opportunities for members of the community to speak to staff about the proposal and outline any issues with the proposed sale.

Thursday, 17 September 2009 - 6-8pm

Saturday, 19 September 2009 - 2-4pm

Both forums will be held in the Level 9 Function room, Council Administration Building, 41 Burelli Street, Wollongong.

For more information please view the Frequently Asked Questions sheet attached under related documents on this page.

If you cannot attend one of these forums or you would like more information, please contact the Engagement Team on 4227 7096. Submissions can be made in writing and sent to Council by mail or email to consultation@wollongong.nsw.gov.au. 

All submissions must be received by Friday, 2 October 2009.
