flag Sydney residents protest plan to turn Carnarvon Golf Course into cemetery, citing lost green space, jobs, and cultural concerns.

flag Residents in western Sydney are opposing a government proposal to convert the 45-hectare Carnarvon Golf Course into a cemetery to address a projected need for 70,000 burial plots. flag Locals, including long-time golfers and community leaders, argue the central location is inappropriate, citing loss of green space, 30 jobs, and cultural insensitivity, particularly among Muslim residents. flag Critics question the feasibility of adding recreational features like walking trails near a cemetery and express concern about re-traumatizing communities with conflict-related trauma. flag Politicians from multiple levels have criticized the consultation process as flawed and lacking transparency. flag Premier Chris Minns defends the move as necessary after years of inaction, but no formal proposal has been submitted. flag Public submissions remain open, with rallies drawing hundreds, as opposition continues to grow.
