This Policy aims to provide clear direction on the approval, establishment, management, and maintenance of community gardens within Wyndham’s Open Spaces.
Wyndham City recognises the important role community gardens play in building the social fabric within local communities and the many social, cultural, environmental, and economic benefits. Community gardens are places that community can come together to learn and share, make friends, practice cultural traditions, and connect with nature.
This Policy is based on the following three key principles:
- Community gardens will be located within Open Spaces and will not compromise the Open Space function
- Community gardens will be the responsibility of an incorporated group to establish, manage and maintain
- Community garden will meet minimum standards
