How did Australia’s largest council come to manage such an extensive network of cemeteries? Join Jenny as she takes us on a journey spanning more than a century, exploring the history that led to the formation of Brisbane City Council in 1925 and the subsequent expansion of its cemetery portfolio. Discover how Brisbane City Council now oversees more than 12 cemeteries across the city. By understanding this evolution, we can better appreciate and shape a respectful and caring future for these significant urban spaces.
