The Cemetery was gazetted in 1878 but during its early years there were few burials. In 1883 the paths and compartments were laid out. The Cemetery has always been managed by Trustees from within the local community. The first Trustees, James Biram, Charles Sargent and James Witton were appointed on November 7, 1879.
The Victoria Street Cemetery was divided into denominational sections to allow people to be buried in fellowship with their church.
As you enter the main driveway from Victoria Street, the Methodist Section, first used in 1882, is located on the left. This is followed by the Catholic Section, first used in about 1881.
The Church of England (Anglican) Section is located to the right of the main gate and was first used in 1879.
Beyond, also to the right, is the Presbyterian Section, first used in 1886.
In later years, cross-denominational Lawn Sections were established.
The first lawn interment was on June 8, 1965.
There are now five lawn sections within this cemetery and many Garden Sections. The Memorial Shrub Section and Niche Wall were also established for Cremated Remains.
