The provision for a cemetery was made when the land was surveyed for the parkland and reserve area at Barabba. The grant of land was proclaimed and granted on 13th January 1875 and signed by the Governor of the state, Sir Anthony Musgrave and countersigned by William Everard, Commissioner of Crown Lands.

The first trustees were: James Harris of Hundred of Alma,

                                 Robert Dyer, George Fidge, James Hennessy,James Poulton

                                 and James Searl of Hundred of Grace

                                 Edward Wall, James Dow and Alik Crawford of Hundred of Dalkey

In April 1875 when James Harris became the first curator he called tenders for the fencing of the cemetery.
