Cemetery plans advance

Waipā district councillors have decided draft concepts plans for the district’s cemeteries should go back out to the community for a short period of public engagement.

The News reported last week that the concept plans for Waipā’s 10 cemeteries showed nearly two thirds of residents prefer a body burial rather than cremation.

The plans, presented initially to the Cambridge Community Board last week also showed Te Awamutu, Hautapu and Paterangi cemeteries could be full within five to 10 years.

Council’s Service Delivery committee and Te Awamutu Community Board viewed the plans this week.

It is the first time the council has engaged with the community and mana whenua on long-term plans for each cemetery,

Three cemeteries – Hautapu (4.69ha), Leamington (2.85ha) and Te Awamutu (4.78ha) – account for 90 per cent of the district’s interments.

The draft concept plans presented to Tuesday’s Service Delivery Committee better reflected community aspirations, community services manager Brad Ward said.

“We received a lot of good, strong feedback around issues like accessibility, mana whenua aspirations, and practical issues like parking, seating and shade – all very useful comments.

“People talked around planting and the potential for native planting to be developed on areas not suitable for interment because of their topography or proximity to waterways. That has encouraged us to look at options which may allow us to develop peaceful and accessible places that are culturally sensitive and more sustainable.”

The concept plans include steps to improve landscaping, seating and shade areas, improve access to water as well as pedestrian access and offer more diverse interment options such as ash walls or memorial gardens. There is a strong push to enhance biodiversity to encourage native species.

Further feedback will be sought via an online survey as well as directly from previous submitters and stakeholders. Hard copies of the survey will be available in the libraries. Survey results and any recommended changes will be reported back in either May or June for final approval.
