Smith Road Project

Southern Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust (SMCT) is proud to be extending its beautiful botanical garden landscaping into an existing but previously unused area of the cemetery accessed by Smith Road and bound by McWilliam Street and Phillip Avenue

This continuation of our grounds will feature space for interments and create a long-lasting and peaceful garden settings for the community in perpetuity.

Work in this space will commence in early 2023. A phased approach will likely mean the beautiful new space will be complete in 2025.

Please refer to this web page for the most up to date information on the progress of this project.

Scope and timing of site works
Initial phase: anticipated March-November 2023

The first phase of works will prepare the site for future planting and construction, continuing our commitment to botanical garden settings, and will include construction of the first stage of our new monumental grave area.

It will also include future planting along the fence line on McWilliam Street to form a screen.
