  • The Cemetery
    Sydney’s Other Housing Crisis: The Cemetery Abstract: Sydney faces a shortage of burial space, with predictions indicating that cemetery capacity may be exhausted by 2050. Solutions are imperative as our population grows and ages. In a rapidly expanding city such as Sydney, there is no easy solution to this issue. Possible responses include the obvious, such as supplying additional burial land, but may include adopting sustainable burial practices to prolong a cemetery’s life. Recognising the challenges associated with providing additional cemetery land, the interment industry has begun to explore sustainable burial practices. This paper discusses renewable tenure for burial plots—the subsequent re-use of graves as a means of providing ongoing cemetery capacity. A series of in-depth interviews with cemetery operators and funeral directors reveals current operational uncertainties of renewable tenure and raises speculation of public knowledge and acceptance of this form of burial. Additionally, an online pilot survey facilitated through a social media platform has provided insights into the interment preferences and opinions on renewable interment rights of individuals aged of twenty and thirty and living in the Sydney metropolitan area. Introduction The interment industry is exploring sustainable burial practices to prolong the life of cemeteries. In 2008, the Department of Lands released a discussion paper titled “Sustainable Burials in Sydney Greater Metropolitan Area”, which was a significant catalyst for the creation of the Cemeteries and Crematoria Act 2013, the first consolidated piece of legislation applying to Crown, local government and privately-owned cemeteries. The paper drew attention to the looming shortage of burial space across Metropolitan Sydney, acknowledging two possible methods for providing additional burial capacity: 1) use existing cemeteries more sustainably, and 2) open new cemeteries at a high cost and at increasing distances from city nodes (Department of Lands 2008, p.

  • 'Underbelly': Writing for The
    8. From the First Fleet to ‘Underbelly’: Writing for the ADB Gerald Walsh I became acquainted with the Australian Dictionary of Biography half a century ago, in February 1961, when I was appointed a research scholar in historical geography in the Research School of Pacific Studies (RSPS) at the ANU. My task was to research the origins and development of manufacturing, or secondary industry, in Sydney, from its foundation to 1900. This involved identifying the manufacturers and industrialists—the flour millers, brewers, tanners, engineers, ironworkers, soap and candle makers, and textile manufacturers, for example— and gathering information on the locations of their factories, the processes employed, the power used, and the duration of their establishments and the place of manufacturing in the emerging colonial economy.1 Anyone doing research in Australian history at that time was always sent along to have a yarn with L. F. Fitzhardinge, who had the somewhat grand title of ‘reader in sources of Australian history’. My meeting with Laurie was most helpful. In conversations with him and other staff and students, I learnt about the existence of the Biographical Register that he had instituted in 1954 and about the two volumes then being prepared to cover the first period of the ADB project, which would include, on the floruit principle, people who contributed to the Australian experience in the early colonial years, 1788–1850. Some of these people were my manufacturers and I soon realised that many manufacturers were also farmers, graziers, merchants and traders, which is not surprising considering that the emerging economy was very small and could not support much specialisation of economic activity.
