GOVERNMENT MOVES TO FIX CEMETERIES
THE NSW Government started addressing the challenges around cemeteries and crematoria policy inherited from the previous government.
As a first step, the Minister for Lands and Property Steve Kamper announced a nationwide search to conduct an open recruitment process for a shared Administrator for four of Sydney’s Crown cemetery operators, collectively known as OneCrown.
The future of these four cemetery operators – Northern Metropolitan Cemeteries, Rookwood General Cemeteries, Rookwood Necropolis and Southern Metropolitan Cemeteries – has been in limbo for years due to the failure of the former government to decide their future.
Executive recruitment firm Meritos will undertake the open recruitment process for the Administrator.
“We’re looking for someone with commercial acumen and solid experience in people leadership, governance, financial and risk management to help us take the sector forward,” Mr Kamper said.
“In a return to more normal government practices, the role will be advertised nationally so the market can be properly tested and the best available candidate identified. The current administrator has been invited to apply.”
“For two years this process has been marred by procrastination and infighting, while the supply of available grave sites dwindled to alarming levels.”
