AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY

CANBERRA PUBLIC CEMETERY REGULATIONS

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

No. 2 of 1971

	It has become necessary to increase the charges for burial services provided by the Trustees of the Canberra Cemetery in order to off-set the increasing costs of supplying these services.  Accordingly, the regulations provide for an increase from $28 to $40 in the charge for burying a person on an ordinary weekday with consequential adjustments for burials on weekends or holidays.

	The increases are required by the Trustees of the Cemetery to meet financial commitments and are below the fees charged for these services in the various State capital cities.
