Lynda Voltz, member for Auburn made a Facebook post on the 14th October:

”A big thank you and congratulations to the massive community effort in collecting over 10,000 signatures for the Protect Coleman Park and Carnarvon Golf Course petition This morning the Pink Army again lined the entrances to NSW Parliament with loud chants and a wall of pink before we officially lodged the petitions to the Parliament. All your hard work will now force a debate in the Legislative Assembly and this had been registered to take place on November 13th. Save the date now !”

Lynda followed up on the matter yesterday, advising residents to take the MMP survey before the deadline on Monday 19th October. “Just a few days remaining to tell MMP no cemetery!” she says.
