Starting an Adopt‑A‑Garden

To start the application process, look at the guidelines document at the top of this page and fill in the digital form below.

Please be aware that Adopt-A-Gardens are not allowed in:

• Areas mapped as threatened species and populations
• Areas mapped as threatened ecological communities
• Areas formally mapped and registered as contaminated lands
• State roads and reserves adjacent to state roads
• Town Centres
• Regional/arterial roads with two lanes in each direction
• Median strips and roundabouts
• Environmentally sensitive land

After submitting the form below, Council’s Team Leader Bushcare will meet with the applicant to discuss the proposal. Once the site has been assessed and approved, Council will assist in producing a site action plan and can provide native local provenance tube stock. When the site action plan has been completed, you can start gardening.
