Cairns Regional Council is implementing the Voluntary Plot Buyback Program as part of the current Cairns Cemetery Strategy to increase land availability for future burials and the placement of ashes, and to extend the lifespan of Cairns Cemetery.
The program focuses on burial plots that have been reserved for an extended period of time but remain unused.
Its purpose is to determine whether these plots are still required by the registered Burial Right Holder or if they can be returned to Council.
Plots that are surrendered will become available for future burials.
A refund of up to $450 will be provided for adult monumental or lawn section plots reserved for more than 25 years, and the normal $250 application fee will be waived.
