A Survey on Biodiversity and Welcoming Spaces at Our Botanical Cemetery

The Ballarat Cemetery Trust recognises the important role we play in managing our community’s cemeteries. At the heart of our work is a deep commitment to honouring and caring for those memorialised in our two cemeteries.

We understand that these spaces hold great significance for our community, and we value and respect the perspectives of those we serve.

As a valued member of our Community, we warmly invite you to share your thoughts in a short, five-minute survey. We’re seeking your feedback on two important topics:

· Biodiversity at our cemeteries, particularly at Ballarat New Cemetery
· The features that help make our cemeteries welcoming and meaningful places for our community

Your insights will help us better understand how our community values both the natural environment and the visitor experience. They will also guide the Ballarat General Cemeteries Trust in shaping future projects and setting priorities that reflect what matters most to you.

Please know that any information collected will only be used to understand the demographics of contributors. No personal contact details will be shared.

Feedback will be shared with the Community Advisory Strategic Committee in February 2026

By taking part, you are playing an important role in shaping the future of our cemeteries so they remain places of respect, beauty, and connection for our whole community.
