Fire Ants

Several fire ant nests have been found in and around Warrill Park Lawn Cemetery and have been promptly treated.  Fire ants have a painful sting and leave a burning or itching sensation on the skin. Fire ant venom accumulates in the body, increasing the risk of severe reactions with more stings.

We encourage all visitors to stay alert and report any suspected nests to the ground staff or the office administration.

Warrill Park Lawn Cemetery maintenance update

Ipswich Cemeteries, operators of Warrill Park Lawn Cemetery, are aware of community concerns regarding maintenance at the site. Maintaining our facilities to the highest possible standard is always a priority, as we understand the significance of this site to the community and in particular those who visit to pay respects to loved ones.

The soils at Warrill Park Lawn Cemetery react to moisture very easily, creating perfect conditions during our region’s wet summers for fast-growing weeds and grass as well as sinking of graves. Each downpour adds to residual moisture in the ground, further compounding the maintenance challenge. The ground moisture has gradually increased over the last two seasons.

We are also currently experiencing a higher than usual number of requests for internment. We are taking action to restore the site to our community’s expectations by:

 Increasing staffing levels to focus on maintenance, including engaging contractors to support
existing staff.
 A greater focus on trimming the roses in the gardens with an additional staff member to
attend to.
 Daily whipper snipping is continuing.
 Daily work on leveling graves with topsoil.
 Addressing a weed outbreak throughout the site with spraying.

We thank the community for its patience while we work to address these important matters.
