Description

The Ballarat New Cemetery was opened in June, 1867, to cater for the future needs of Ballarat.  Like the old cemetery, it is steeped in gold-rush history: rotundas, statues and fountains are positioned among the many monuments to remind us of days gone by. Lawn graves were introduced in 1959, and are now the major form of burial.

With its manicured green lawns, stately shady trees and peaceful open parkland, here is a memorial landscape esteemed for its tranquillity.  The cemetery covers 55ha, of which 25ha is set aside for further development. More than 78,000 burials are recorded in the grounds and the cemetery continues to serve the needs of Ballarat and the surrounding region.
