THE ACT Public Cemeteries Authority is now accepting applications from people looking to serve as members of the ACT Cemeteries Board.

Executive Director, Business Enterprise Division, Phillip Perram said the ACT Public Cemeteries Authority is an independent statutory authority responsible for the efficient management of Gungahlin, Woden and Hall public cemeteries.

“The Authority aims to operate these cemeteries on a sustainable basis to minimise the cost to Government and the community,” Phillip said.

“The Authority is self-funded statutory authority responsible to the Minister for Territory and Municipal Services. It works closely with TAMS to ensure that legislative requirements and the ACT Government’s objectives are met.

“The Board and its Committees are responsible for ensuring our cemeteries are maintained to the highest possible standard within the budget available, while also setting the strategic direction of the Authority. The Board also oversees the management of the cemeteries by the Chief Executive Officer.

“This means the Board makes decisions on what new services are provided, long term infrastructure planning and community engagement.

“We are currently seeking applications from suitably qualified people to be considered for Board appointment.

“Potential applicants and interested parties are invited to a public information session on Thursday 29 January 2015 at 3 pm at Macarthur House, 12 Wattle Street Lyneham.

“Applications close on Friday 6 February 2015.”
