The report was prepared for the Trustees of the Diocese of Cape Town, The Anglican Church of Southern Africa. It was commissioned to address concerns raised by the local interest groups Garlandale and Greater Black River Community and the Ancestral Burial Committee in view of the site to be used for future development. The planned exhumation and reinterment of historic graves, some of them being Khoikhoi, ex slaves and Muslim graves, as claimed by local community, needed mitigation, as the local interest groups advocated for the site to be turned into a Garden of Remembrance.
