Initially the district Seventh-day Adventist Church funded the establishment of the Cemetery until it became self-supporting. These churches, Avondale Memorial SDA Church, Avondale College Church, Hillview SDA Church, Lakeside SDA Church and Dora Creek SDA Church provide members for its Board of Management.
The Lake Macquarie Shire Council, in 1983, classified the Cemetery as a conservation area, noting that ‘The uniformity of this site distinguish it (sic) from other modern cemeteries. It provides a comprehensive documentation of the development of the Seventh-day Adventist Centre in Cooranbong, their headquarters in NSW and major settlement in Australia, from 1897 to the present.' Elsewhere in the same conservation document it is noted, ‘…the cemetery is immaculately maintained. Apparently there is no religious symbolism which explains this treatment, only that of ‘caring & respect for our dead' as one Seventh-day Adventist explained it.'
