A new Fremantle Cemetery Historical Women’s Walk, set for launch in 2027, will honour notable women interred at Fremantle Cemetery whose achievements have influenced Western Australia’s cultural, social and civic development. Building on the success of the Walking with WA Women Trail at Karrakatta Cemetery, this new project continues MCB’s commitment to recognising and celebrating women’s stories, including those that may have been historically overlooked.
From today, nominations are open for community members, historians, families and organisations to put forward women they believe should be acknowledged on the trail. An online nomination form is available on the MCB website, providing a simple way for people to share family histories, archival knowledge and community stories. Nominations may highlight contributions across any field, including the arts, community service, education, health, business, sport, advocacy, or public life.
MCB Chief Executive Officer Kathlene Oliver, said the project would be shaped in partnership with the Western Australian community.
