Middle Dural resident Christopher Augerinos has condemned a proposed $22.6 million redevelopment of the former Nati Roses farm into a cemetery featuring 2,300 burial plots and 10-metre-high “cremation pyramids”, calling it “disgusting.”
According to The Daily Telegraph, the plans by developer The Purple Goldfish include chapels, a function hall, and a flower pavilion, with developers arguing it meets a growing need for burial space in Sydney.
Mr Augerinos, whose family has lived in the area for 25 years, said the project would destroy the community’s rural character.
Other residents have raised concerns about traffic, visual impact, and the loss of a historic local landmark.
While the developers say the plan is open to community feedback, residents are urging council to reject it, warning it would change Middle Dural forever.
