Recent update 16/08/24:
On 21 August, further essential maintenance works will take place on North Road at the same intersection and impact traffic access again.
The MacPherson Street entry gate and intersecting roads will be closed both times to allow the works to be completed safely.
Update on 29/07/24:
Please note that on Tuesday 30 July and Wednesday 31 July, essential maintenance works will temporarily impact traffic access at the intersection of North, Seventh and Eleventh Avenue at Melbourne General Cemetery
This maintenance will involve proactive plumbing work that will address water leaks on footpaths and roads and improve the amenity of the area.

During this period community members will still be able to visit their loved ones in the area but there will be temporary limited/restricted road access.
