Veterans Perpetual Grave Lease Program

In reply to Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (25 November 2020). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier): I have been advised:

The election commitment for perpetuity for graves located within RSL approved burial sites is not an 'upon application' process for members of the public. Negotiations for perpetuity are between those responsible for cemetery management and Veterans SA, who are responsible for executing the election commitment.

Since the 2018 election, Veterans SA is aware of two unsolicited approaches from the community to fund in-perpetuity grave leasing. These two graves were located outside of the RSL-approved sections of the respective cemetery.
