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?

The Department of Defence continues to ignore our demands while they eye up this land for profitable development. We refuse to let them pave over 127 hectares of our history just to fill the pockets of private corporations.
May 11, 2019
The federal government is clearly feeling the heat because this momentum proves they cannot just quietly hand over our land to private developers. We are forcing them to look at the massive public demand for a green space instead of their usual obsession with profit.

There is likely to be traffic chaos in our local area with the high density housing being built in Maribynong and Moonee Ponds. Let's keep the old defence site for a wildlife corridor and and a parkland area for everyone to enjoy.
One rumor I have heard from a person who works in a profession knowledgeable about such matters is of a "plan" (or should I call it a nightmare) to build a twenty story building on the site. There should be a public debate before anything like that is done.
