Glenella Park Cemetery Location: Glenella Road, Glenella, Mackay. Local Government Authority: Mackay Regional Council Access: Cemetery no longer in existence. Was located in close proximity to the present Brickworks Court off Glenella Road on the present Glenella Industrial Estate. History: The first burial took place on 11 September 1951 and the last took place on 17 June 1952. The cemetery was not deemed suitable for a cemetery after being in existence for less than a year. The soil was too saturated in the wet season and huge cracks in the soil appeared in the dry season. A decision was made to close the cemetery and the people interred were exhumed and reburied in the Old Mackay Cemetery during 1953. Number of Burials: 65 according to the Mackay burial register. Notes: The original burial register for the cemetery is kept in the Mackay City Council in the front of the first burial register for the Mount Bassett Cemetery. The re-interments were also recorded in the Old Mackay Cemetery records in time order and some read as ordinary burials.
