Visitors can access the park via alternative entrances on:

  • Ogden and Evell Street, Glenroy

Clear signage and fencing will be in place to help guide you through the park.

Timeline

Construction began in early October and is expected to be completed by Thursday 18 December 2025.

What remains open

All memorial areas remain accessible and there will be no disruption to funeral services.

Dust management

Recent weather has caused some challenging onsite conditions and increased dust around the construction zone. We are working closely with our contractor to improve dust control measures and reduce any impact on neighbours and visitors.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to enhance Northern Memorial Park.
