Keilor Cemetery has been serving its diverse, multicultural community’s evolving needs for more than 150 years. Its pioneer graves reflecting the history of its location on the road to the goldfields.
Water pooling
Heavy rains, ground variation and sub-surface water movement can result in water pooling, particularly in some of our older areas which were built well before the development of the sophisticated water management systems and drainage infrastructure that we employ during construction in all our new sites today. In our older areas there can be poor drainage due to the limitations of the site (initial dated construction methods, pathway width and material, grave spacing and layout).
Implementing drainage infrastructure years after a section has been built and individuals have been interred constitutes major works. It is difficult to conduct major works without disrupting historic graves and monuments and they can sometimes result in disturbing unmarked graves. This means we may not always be able to successfully resolve the issue. The options available are to pump the excess water or wait till the water naturally drains or evaporates.
Signage on site
The safety of our customers, visitors and staff is vital and we strive to identify, assess and rectify water pooling instances wherever possible. A water pooling sign on site indicates that we are aware of the issue and are monitoring the water movement.
Contact us
If you have concerns about high levels of water pooling or encounter significant water pooling that is not sign posted, then please contact us 1300 022 298 or enquiries@gmct.com.au.
