What's happening?
Community gardening is a recreational activity that contributes to the health and well-being of our community as well as providing a range of environmental, social and educational benefits.
In Dee Why, a group of local residents have requested a community garden at Arthur Reserve. It is proposed the garden be developed in 2 phases, with the plan to:
- grow food and plants
- promote sustainable lifestyles
- provide opportunities for social interaction and a place for like-minded neighbours to garden together
- promote physical activity.
We have conducted a preliminary assessment, consistent with the Community Gardens Policy, and prepared a draft Review of Environmental Factors (REF) which finds that any potential impacts will be minimal.
Your input is important to us. We invite you to share your thoughts on the proposed location for the community garden by:
- completing the comment form below
- visiting our pop-up information session at Arthur Reserve
- emailing or writing to us. Please include 'Arthur Reserve Community Garden' in the subject line of all email or written feedback.
