Parkland proposal ry. It needs to have well-maintained lawns throughout and provide a shady, comforting environment.” With the use of treated urban supply too costly to consider for a large-scale watering scheme, Horsham Cemetery Trust accesses limited and far-fromassured stormwater supply from nearby Horsham Police Paddock dams. Mr McDonald said limited supply meant while the lawn section of the cemetery had access to water through the water-sharing arrangement, older sections of the site failed to get the attention they deserved. “We’re keen to develop a parkland
