Kelvin Grove Chapel closing for upgrade
Saturday, 21 July 2007
PNCC Press Release
The final stage of the structural upgrade of the chapel at Kelvin Grove cemetery will require the chapel to be closed from Monday, July 23, for about 15 working days.
During this period City Council contractors will remove the existing paint on the chapel ceiling which contains a small content of asbestos. The ceiling and walls will be repainted an off-white colour while the chapel is closed.
Parks Project Coordinator, Charles Foulds, apologises for any inconvenience but emphasises that the upgrade only affects the chapel and all other services at the cemetery remain fully operational.
The interior work will complete the $235,000 structural upgrade. In the last year the entranceway has been revamped providing disabled access, a new roof has been installed, a memorial book room constructed and the exterior painted.
Charles Foulds says once the work has been completed people will appreciate the improvements to the chapel.
