The Whitsunday Mayor has issued an apology and vowed to review the council’s Cemeteries Policy after it sparked a tidal wave of community criticism.
Mayor Andrew Willcox met with the other Whitsunday councillors as well as council’s CEO Rod Ferguson and senior management staff on Wednesday to discuss the community response to letters and a social media post sent out by the council about the management of the region’s cemeteries.
“The policy allows fresh flowers over the gravesite for the first month after interment and after that period a vase may be purchased from council for display of artificial flowers. Other items or structures are only allowed with the approval of council,” the post read.
