But what it doesn’t lack is a sense of community. For the last two hundred years it has been a community that has faced up to its problems. Once Ebenezer’s pioneers had cleared their land and built their homes, they then built a church and started a school for their children. And this was without government assistance. The same community spirit prevailed years later in 1952 when local residents banded together to form the Ebenezer Bush Fire Brigade. Within a few years they had bought a Stubbs Family Reunion fire tanker and had built a fire shed. Their first brigade 63 people turned up - double the number that attended last captain was Harold Hall, a direct descendant of church year – for the reunion of the descendants of Ebenezer Church pioneers Sarah & William Stubbs . pioneers George & Mary Hall. The progress continued and in 1990, through community fund raising and support, a Registration was at 9.30am followed by a short service in new double-bay fire shed was built in Kolora Road, Ebenezer Church that was led by Rev.

  • Guidelines for Cemetery Conservation
    NATIONAL TRUST GUIDELINES FOR CEMETERY CONSERVATION SECOND EDITION 2009 PRODUCED WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF A NSW HERITAGE GRANT • All cemeteries are significant to the community • Some are significant to the nation at large, some to a religious or ethnic group or a region, some mainly to a single family • The conservation of cemeteries means retaining this significance • All management, maintenance and repair in cemeteries should be guided by sound conservation principles so that significance is retained CEMS\Policy Paper Review & model letters\2nd Edition Dec 08.doc i GUIDELINES FOR CEMETERY CONSERVATION PRELUDE STOP! READ THIS HERITAGE CHECKLIST BEFORE YOU BEGIN CEMETERY WORK Cemeteries protected by statutory heritage listings sometimes have special requirements or controls for work. This checklist will help you to identify who may need to "sign-off" on your proposed works. 1) Is the item (or place) on the State Heritage Register? Check on the Heritage Office website at: www.heritage.nsw.gov.au 2) Is the item more than 50 years old? (eg a displaced 1926 headstone). 3) Is the item/place on a Local or Regional heritage list? Find out from the local Council. If the answer is “yes” to any of these questions then you will need advice on how to proceed. The local Council officers and the National Trust can give initial advice. (Also see Part 3, Section 3.2 of these Guidelines.) In all cases after complying with any special requirements, you should then go back to the controlling authority (Church, Council, property owner etc.) and confirm that you have permission to proceed.
