From the Maitland Mercury report:
A large-scale plan to build a columbarium at St Mary’s Anglican Church, Maitland has hit the wall with less than $70,000 being raised for stage one of the $280,000 project.

The plans were unveiled late last year to attract subscriptions to bring the design to fruition, but the church rector Father Chris Butterworth said the response had been surprisingly slow.
