| | Green light for crematorium to burn more, despite residents' concerns - National (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | A crematorium in the Hunter Valley has been allowed to double the number of bodies it burns, despite residents telling the Land and Environment Court that ashes have been poured into a nearby gully, whipped up into winds over a primary school and have stopped them enjoying barbecues for fear of contamination. |
 | | The St Patrick's of Nulkaba crematorium, which opened in 2002, has been granted permission by the court to open later and on Saturdays, cremate 800 bodies a year rather than 400, and reduce the temperature in the combustion chamber. |
 | | Commissioner Stanford Watts ruled he was satisfied the crematorium was a sufficient distance from nearby residences by 100 metres and that the modified operation would be in keeping with the "village atmosphere" of Nulkaba. |
