Overview
Engaged by builders Hansen Yuncken and their client Southern Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust, we worked on the $50million redevelopment of the highly regarded Bunurong Memorial facility in April 2016.
This substantial 11 hectare site promotes a distinctive Australian theme and we delivered a range of effects, including native plants combined with rusted steel landscape walls, red earth paths and grassed berms to create a unique visitor experience. This master cemetery will meet Melbourne’s population interment needs for at least 70 forthcoming years whilst also providing visitors with state-of-the-art function facilities and activity areas for children.
