Toowong Cemetery Road Signs

Some Toowong Cemetery road signs need replacement or repair:

  • some signs have not been updated to reflect road name changes.
  • some signs are unreadable due to weathering.
  • some signs have been bent by vandals. Often these signs are on low posts.

New signs could be added to make wayfinding in the cemetery easier.

  2. Sign is unreadable and/or damaged.
  3. Sign is readable but damaged.
  4. New sign to help significantly with way finding.
  5. New sign to help with way finding.
  6. Sign is readable but in old format.

Renaming Roads

As there is only one 10th Avenue sign and it is unreadable, there is an opportunity to rename the road after someone notable buried nearby. Candidates include:

  • Susan Woulfe (7A‑74‑15/16) - founder of Woulfe and Son, tailors. Beside the road.
  • Kathleen Sheehy (7A‑135‑12) - first Head Teacher of the Dutton Park Opportunity School.
  • James Rylatt (7A-33-12) - jockey killed in a racing accident at Kedron Park. Beside the road. (There is a Rylatt Street in Indooroopilly)

We should avoid road names that already exist in Toowong or nearby suburbs.
