Welcome to the Kambarang Season!
We finished the last season with our AGM and I would like to thank everyone who
attended. I would also like to thank the new 2023/24 elected Committee for
volunteering to be involved for the coming year. It is great to have the old team
back again, with some new faces to add to the mix as well as.
We have successfully presented our proposal to the City of Joondalup at two
Council Meetings in August. In both cases it was terrific to have so many
supporters in attendance, especially those that chose to make a verbal
statement. I arrived at the first meeting feeling nervous, but left thinking we made
a big step forward. The support we received from our Councillors and the
community proved to the City that we are serious about establishing a garden
with a focus of bringing the community together, with the aim of reducing
isolation and improving mental health. At the conclusion of the second meeting it
was unanimously voted that we establish a community garden at Gibson Park,
subject to an agreed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the City.
In summary, we will have an initial three year agreement with the City for use of
the land, subject to extension if everything is progressing as expected. We will
also have the opportunity to bring later phase items forward, should we be
successful in obtaining grants and approvals.
