The hearings committee recommendations include claims there was "adequate public consultation" on what was to take place at Archer St and council officers had acted in "good faith".
Subsequently, eight new ashes interment spaces had been created immediately inside the old Archer St entrance of which seven have now been bought and the first interment happened in November 2012.
The hearings committee believes it would be completely insensitive and unrealistic to ask the families of those interred to uplift the ashes and relocate them.
As it was, "significant distress" had been caused to a family whose grave site was disturbed in the same area when repairs had to be made to the slumped front fence.
Committee members have warned they would be extremely disappointed if any attempt was made by anyone in the town to approach families of those interred to ask if they were prepared to have ashes removed.
A final point made in the recommendations is that work already done by the council cannot now justify the cost of reinstating the old entranceway.
Instead councillors are asked to give a mandate to continuing construction work on the new entranceway to include the building of pillars and wing walls.
It is also planned to redesign the corner of the entrance to eliminate what has been identified as a "pinch point" and to progressively widen the main road to the cemetery and Queen Elizabeth Park wherever possible bearing in mind "there are several substantial trees that can't be moved and will need to be worked around".
Research has convinced the council that no "physical gates" had been in place at the old Archer St entrance to the cemetery since the 1970s.
Committee members suspect the gates came to light with an area clean-up behind the old sports scoreboard. The gates now form part of the gateway into Queen Elizabeth Park and cemetery adjacent to the old Archer St entrance.
