Site Selection -Georgina Island seems like a suitable place as it has all the requirements from a flat slope to an open area but as it is an island and to reach the island one needs a boat, it is not the most ideal place for a cemetery
Possible Locations
Keele st and Lloydtown Aurora
Weston Rd and 16 th Side Road
Conclusion -all the white scattered locations show viable sites for a cemetery but we chose those two in particular because there were fairly distant from the CBD -also the two sites were in rural areas with flat land which seem to be in areas where development has yet to happen and perhaps might not take place Cemeteries don’t always have to follow constraints
