Senior church and religious officials running NSW cemeteries and crematoriums are preparing for a significant shake-up of the sector | SHutchinsonNews
Senior church and religious officials running NSW cemeteries and crematoriums are preparing for a significant shake-up of the sector, with the government shortly expected to release two landmark reports into the industry.
Berejiklian government cabinet members are expected to meet on Monday to consider a statutory review of the sector, covering planning, management and long-term viability of cemeteries, many of which are on Crown land.The Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal is also midway through a probe of interment costs, with a particular focus on affordability and the availability of cemetery space and plots.
The reviews stand to shake-up the sector, including for operators that are vying to solidify existing management rights, as well as tenders for new government sites, and a say in future acquisitions.
