History

We would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which the cemetery resides, the Yuggera and Turrbal peoples. We pay our respects to all Elders, past, present, and emerging.

The Queensland government reserved the land as a cemetery reserve in 1866 ^[1]

The first person interred in the cemetery was Jane Hockings on the 1st of August 1870.

In 1961, the cemetery was deemed full and closed to new burials. However, burials in family plots were permitted. In 1998, a small number of new plots were released.

In 2003, the cemetery was added to the Queensland Heritage Register as a place of historical, cultural, and aesthetic significance. ^[2]
