From the Maitland Mercury report:
The Friends of Maitland Jewish Cemetery with a little digging, so to speak, have provided Maitland City Council with the seeds of a plan that could see the burial ground placed on the NSW State Heritage Register.
“The conservation plan has come together really nicely with the help of the friends group,” council’s heritage officer Clare James said. “They were able to provide invaluable information in helping us develop the plan.”
The cemetery was established in 1846, making it the oldest dedicated Jewish burial ground in NSW.
