A NEW unisex toilet and storage area will soon be built at Emerald Cemetery.
Funded through the Greater Metropolitan Cemetery Trust Eastern Branch at Lilydale, the $80,000 project will include sustainable features such as solar power and a water tank.
The project will be made possible also through the work of the Friends and Carers of the Emerald Section (FACES) of the Greater Metropolitan Cemetery Trust.
The group regularly undertakes maintenance tasks such as weeding, raking, pruning and general tidying around the cemetery grounds between 10am and noon.
The group enjoys a ‘cuppa’ and a chat afterwards.
During winter, the tasks to be undertaken are rose pruning, which is quite a task.
The group is asking for an extra hand to help with its coming rose pruning program, which they say is a big task.
Any help would be appreciated for Mondays on 13, 20, 27 July; and 3 August.
For further details, contact Graeme on 5968 5612.
