Protect and preserve for now and for the future. The market gardens has over 150 years of history, protect it for future generations, land elsewhere needs to be searched for cemetary use with less impacts on land that is used to grow fresh produce I agree with my husband 100%, protect the gardens.

Just get on with Protecting Australian social history, physical items & its natural heritage instead of destruction of our history in all forms & environment by such actions by politicians as happen at Prince Henry Hospital and Malabar Anzac rifle range including the Malabar Riding School. Many Australians travel overseas & return saying how historic & great some building or place is then just stand by , watch and allow every bit of our history to be destroyed without questioning our leaders who allow such destruction to occur. once its gone you never get it back!!!!

When will the land grabbing end to be buried in a hole in Sydney? Whats next?
These markets produce local and sustainable food, and have been here for over 100 years.
If you would like to be buried when you die, great, we have a lot of usable land 100km to the west.
As energy costs increase I would enjoy the comfort of eating local produce and preserving local heritage.

Please preserve the Chinese Market Gardens as they promote local food security. The spiraling fuel costs and carbon emissions associated with the transport of food to Sydney pose a very significant threat to our communities. We need to save the Chinese Market Gardens, and expand our local agriculture, support our farmers, and create a more sustainable food supply.

I believe that food producing land is NOT the place for buying the dead. It is a place that sustains life and gives food security to local regions. At a time when our food sources are being threatened by coal mining and coal seam gas extraction, it’s appropriate that we see leadership by our politicians to support and protect urban food producers such as the heritage listed La Perouse Market Gardens. Let's look for alternative sites to bury our dead such as land unfit for any other purpose.

This is a heritage site, just as much as the famed Aboriginal site at La Perouse. The early settled Chinese laboured long hours, living in humpys with family young and old, to provide fresh produce to the throng of cars including my own family, who stopped for a small bag of fresh greengroceries which were bought with sign language, but the money owed spoke all languages and quickly changed hands as the business minded chinese grower wished to move onto to other customers.

Not only are these gardens heritage listed and of immense importance to Chinese history in Australia they also play an important role in producing food for Sydney. We all need to do what we can to reduce the impact of global warming and the distance which food is transported from production until it reaches the consumer is of vital importance in this equation
To consider selling land which is valuable as a market garden so that dead bodies can be deposited there just doesn't make sense.

Why would a cemetery take precedent over a living vital and crucial element of sustaining people. Food production needs and planning are top priority.

Heritage is also important to life. It is not only on economic terms that decisions should be based on

Having lived on a market garden for the first 20 years of my life, I believe that they are a great asset to the city due to its ability to supply fresh produce to the markets and to the local community. They also add mych cultural and ethnic colour to a community. It is paramount that these gardens be preserved for future generations and to not fall victim to the greed of government and property developers.

this can be an example for urban renewal of intensive farming uses that can be saved from being taken up by continued built development.

Please investigagte the 'slow food' revolution and understand what this site may mean for the city of Randwick in terms of sustainable food production and a sennse of community.

I have grown up watching the Chinese gardens being removed from Matraville and from the opposite eastern side of Bunnerong Road at Little Bay. Please save this last one.

All market gardens are extremely important in these times of pending food shortages. The markets could be made organic as a commercial enterprise or turned into organic community gardens, which would foster community getting together in a positive way.
