The map, located on the MidCoast Council website, has been developed to assist families identify headstones incorrectly laid down at the cemetery.

"The map identifies 59 headstones that have been laid down and indicates there are now 49 confirmed for repair with the remainder to undergo a more detailed assessment," MidCoast Council liveable communities director, Paul De Szell said.

"The map will be updated as assessments are undertaken and additional information comes to hand."

Council is asking family members to register their contact details online, to help develop a register of families to work with in the restoration process.

Mr De Szell asked if family members could agree to appoint a contact person to discuss the restoration of headstones with council.

He said council was developing an action plan to repair the damaged headstones.

At a public meeting in Wingham last Sunday, general manager, Adrian Panuccio apologised again to the community for the poor delivery of the monument risk assessment program.

Mr De Szell also apologised.

The monument risk assessment program has stopped while a separate action plan is developed to review this program.

Mr De Szell said the program would not recommence without broad community consultation.

Council will also consult with its heritage adviser, Heritage Reference Group, the National Trust, Cemeteries and Crematoria NSW and the Office of Environment and Heritage to develop a solution moving forward.

"We will also continue to work with the 'Blight of the Bight' Group."
