Robe District Council has secured funding for its ‘Robe Historic Cemetery – Restoration Works’ project.
The Department of Environment and Water will contribute $20,000 towards the restoration works as part of the new Heritage Conservation Grants Program.
The council is looking forward to delivering this project to the community over the 2023/24 financial year.
The cemetery is the final resting place for a number of prominent district pioneers including the Reverend William Vansittart.
His estate enabled the development of the Mount Gambier sports ground which bears his name.
