Site Location Audit
This Community Garden Site Location Audit identifies suitable future sites for community gardens and enables Council to respond to future requests. It is not a definitive or exhaustive list, as community interest in other sites may create a significant level of demand for them to be considered on a case by case basis. In the first instance this list is a guide for interested community groups and residents in locating a potential new site/s for community gardens.
The Community Gardens Site Location Audit rates a number of public open spaces against identified criteria that are recognised as best practice. In the table, the first listed locations in each suburb are those that meet most of the criteria and are identified as preferred sites. Other locations are included, but clearly do not meet most of the criteria.
