A new Policy to grow our Community Gardens

At its July 2023 meeting, Council adopted a new Community Garden Policy.

What you told us

Read about community feedback on the Community Garden Policy review.

Growing community gardens and connections 🍏

Have you ever thought about growing produce with others in a little patch in Bayside?

We’re reviewing our Community Garden Policy which guides how we make decisions about establishing and managing community gardens.

The draft Community Garden Policy sets out the process and criteria for:

  • establishing a community garden
  • assessing applications
  • supporting community garden groups
  • monitoring established gardens.

We want to know what you think about the draft Policy and places where there’s strong interest in community gardens.

Consultation closed 5 May 2023.
