Council has revised its draft Community and Verge Gardens Policy.

Background

Community and verge gardens provide local residents with recreational opportunities and a range of other environmental, social and educational benefits that can contribute to the health and well-being of individuals and the wider community.

Council is committed to providing a clear roadmap to developing and managing community and verge gardens in Bayside. The draft Policy outlines the types of gardens that may be supported by Council, where they can be located, what is and isn't permitted in them, and the ongoing roles of Council and the public in managing and nurturing the gardens.
