Recent wet weather update
With the recent high rainfall across Victoria and continuing wet weather, some areas within our grounds have become affected by saturated soils and the impacts of continued and prolonged rain.
Over the last few days, our grounds have been struggling to drain as quickly as they normally would, due to the continuous rain volume and the heavy-clay nature of the soil across our sites.
While our teams are doing everything they can to keep our grounds safe and looking their best, these conditions present a number of challenges for us and our community including wet, slippery paths, and muddy, waterlogged lawns and some areas becoming temporarily inaccessible.
We expect our grounds to drain naturally as drier weather approaches, but in the meantime, your safety is our number one priority and during the wet season we ask you to please:
- Contact our team on 1300 466 904 for any assistance.
- Stay on sealed paths as much as possible when the ground is very muddy
- Drive carefully in the rain, keeping to the speed limit displayed, and pull over if your visibility is impaired
- Park only in designated parking spaces, and not on grass
- Wear appropriate footwear and avoid stepping on or over fallen branches or debris
- Avoid placing loose items on the resting place of a loved one that could be easily damaged or displaced by rain and wind
In any extreme weather conditions, consider rescheduling your visit.
