The 127 hectare Defence Department Explosives Factory Site in Maribyrnong should be a National Park.

We request that the federal government and all national political leaders publicly discuss this proposal.

The use of all this land for private property development would ignore the common good and restrict the benefits of the land to only a few.

The contamination of the land would be best addressed by disinterested parties who put the environment and public health and safety before profit.

This is a site of great historical, social, military heritage and environmental significance.

It must not be lost.

This petition asks the leaders of Australia: Do you want to save the 127 hectares of the explosives factory Maribyrnong to be a National Park?
