The cemetery had separate sections for a number of religious denominations (Anglican, Roman Catholic, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Methodist and Baptist) and a general section. In 1982 responsibility for the cemetery was given to the Crows Nest Shire Council, and became the responsibility of the Toowoomba Regional Council following the local government amalgamations in 2008.[5]
