About the Proposal
Bumborah Point is a 4.35 hectare Crown Land site adjoining the Eastern Suburbs Memorial Park in Port Botany, NSW, Australia.
A Masterplan has been developed by Southern Metropolitan Cemeteries NSW (SCMNSW) to improve the public access of Bumborah Point and Yarra Bay Beach, along with an expansion of the Eastern Suburbs Memorial Park.
Aboriginal Cemetery & Memorial Garden
La Perouse is home to one of the longest-established urban Aboriginal communities in Australia. A dedicated Aboriginal Cemetery and Memorial Garden with 125 burial plots for the interment of the remains of Aboriginal persons, is proposed. LEARN MOREEnvironmental Considerations
To reinforce existing indigenous plant species, SMCNSW intends to collect seed from local native trees and shrubs and propagate them as part of the future landscaping of Bumborah Point, to ensure the existing appearance of the headland is maintained. LEARN MOREActivating Public Space
In its present state Bumborah Point does not provide safe access and is unusable for recreational purposes. There is no formal or safe pedestrian access to the beach and the car park remains locked to minimise illegal dumping activities.
The Masterplan includes public circulation and amenities throughout the site in addition to a boardwalk viewing platform overlooking Yarra Bay Beach.
