PlanningxChange 86: Cemeteries today; planning for living and death

PlanningxChange Episode 86, features Deb Ganderton CEO of The Greater Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust (GMCT) and James Reid, the Chief Future Built Environment Officer of GMCT. GMCT is a self-funding, not for profit organisation that runs 19 cemeteries and memorial parks and three crematoria across Melbourne, Australia. It is also responsible for two greenfield sites to be developed on Melbourne’s urban fringe. GMCT manages 600 hectares; the various cemeteries are visited by almost two million people annually. In this interview Deb and James talk of the evolution of cemeteries, management issues, the need to respond to diversifying community preferences and the requirements of long term planning. The interview covers a wide range of topics including discussion on the modern experience of the traditional cemetery format often with significant heritage values and considerations that drive new cemetery design. The interview touches on the sensitivities of design for grieving and the value of nature to assist this process. As well, the desire to integrate cemeteries into communities and become places of celebration and passive recreation rather than places of limited utility. Audio production by Jack Bavage. The episode was released on 6 December 2021.
