Catholic school's plans to expand over former cemetery labelled 'disturbing'

A Catholic school in northern Tasmania has received approval to proceed with expansion plans that involve building over a site previously identified as a cemetery. The decision comes after a government department concluded that the land is "not a cemetery." This ruling allows the school to move forward with constructing new facilities on the disputed land.

The decision raises concerns about the treatment of historical burial sites and the potential impact on ancestral remains.
