A tranquil new area has been added to one of the region’s most picturesque cemeteries.
The new Reflection and Memorial Pond at Kulangoor Cemetery will provide a calm location for visitors to sit, reminisce and cherish memories of their loved ones.
Sunshine Coast Council Division 10 Councillor David Law said it was a beautiful addition to the cemetery.
“We hope the sight and sound of running water, set amongst the gardens, will provide a peaceful space for visitors to honour their loved one’s memories and final resting place,” he said.
“The formal structure of the pond falls away into a more natural setting with water flowing over natural boulders and river rocks.
“The sound of running water provides a sense of calm and can be heard in other areas of the cemetery nearby.
“I hope the pond will provide a quiet, comforting and calm space to cherish the loving memories.”
The pond is surrounded by gardens, an easy-to-access pathway, seating and trees.
The plants were intentionally chosen to provide blooms of varying colours throughout the year and, when fully grown, the larger trees will offer shade to the pond and seating area.
Additional plants, including water lilies, will be planted in the pond during the warmer months.
Kulangoor Cemetery is one of 18 cemeteries managed by Sunshine Coast Council, across the region.
