Cemeteries and Crematoria Act 2013

The Cemeteries Agency must keep a register of cemeteries and crematoria (the Cemeteries and Crematoria Register).

The Cemeteries and Crematoria Register may be kept in the way the Cemeteries Agency decides.

A cemetery operator must notify the Cemeteries Agency of the following matters for inclusion on the Cemeteries and Crematoria Register—

the name and location of the cemetery or crematorium,

the name and address of the cemetery operator,

the telephone number of the cemetery or the crematorium or the cemetery operator,

any other information required by the regulations to be included in that register.

The regulations may make provision for or with respect to the notification by a cemetery operator of information contained in the Cemeteries and Crematoria Register and changes in relation to that information.

A cemetery operator must—

provide the Cemeteries Agency with any information relating to the cemetery that is required by this section to be included in the Cemeteries and Crematoria Register, and

notify the Cemeteries Agency of any material change in the information provided by the cemetery operator for recording in that register within 14 days (or such longer period as the Cemeteries Agency allows) after the change occurs.

The Cemeteries and Crematoria Register must be open for public inspection, without charge, during ordinary business hours.

The Cemeteries Agency must, at the request of the Secretary of the Ministry of Health, provide NSW Health with a copy of the Cemeteries and Crematoria Register.
