About
On 19 February 2026, the Minister for Health officially transferred management of Heathcote Cemetery to RPCV. Prior to 2022, Heathcote Cemetery was managed and maintained by the Heathcote Cemetery Trust. This is a group of dedicated local community members who take great pride in their local cemetery and want to ensure that its heritage, historical and social value is maintained into the future. From 2022-2026, RPCV managed the cemetery on behalf of the Heathcote Cemetery Trust. Two of the Heathcote Cemetery Trust members have taken up positions on RPCV’s Community Advisory Committee.
The Heathcote cemetery, established in 1854, is of historic significance as the third cemetery to be established in Heathcote after ones that were briefly used near the existing hospital. It is also the burial place of many of the region's people from 1854.
It is of aesthetic significance for its layout, stonemasonry in the design of graves, cypress trees, and shelter building.
The Heathcote cemetery is of social significance as a place of reflection for many local people as well as those from further afield whose friends or relatives are buried there.
