The Eastern Suburbs Memorial Park is attempting to take over land from the Chinese market gardens @ Phillip Bay. Here's a link to our local site: http://laperouse.info/?p=2366
There was an article in the SMH on Saturday, January 7, 2012, about the issue: http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/growing-vegies-becomes-a-question-of-life-and-death-20120106-1pofi.html
If you want support the Market Gardens please send letters to the SMH <[email protected]> with name, address and contact phone number. Some of the key points are:
1. area is floodplain, unsuitable for burial sites
2. there is land on adjacent Military Road that the Trust could buy – graves instead of containers
3. our future food security needs
