Thursday February 25, 2021
The Whitsunday Regional Council overturns a policy banning fresh flowers on graveyards from a month after interment after admitting the decision was insensitive.
The Whitsunday Regional Council has voted to overturn a policy that banned fresh flowers on graveyards from a month after interment.
It comes just two weeks after the council faced criticism over a Facebook post telling residents about the policy, which also banned ornaments on graves and stipulated any artificial flowers must be placed in a vase purchased from council.
