COMMUNITY GARDENS CONTINUE TO GROW

Coffs Regional Community Gardens Association has an eye on future growth with much-needed improvements about to get under way.

As the Gardens gear up for spring, the volunteers are also getting ready to go ahead with a project which has been in the planning for some time.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said an $18,000 NSW Government grant will allow the Gardens to build a disabled access footpath to their soon-to-be refurbished toilet facilities.

“This Community Building Partnership grant is for the extension of the existing concrete path within the gardens to provide all-weather disabled access to the toilets, which will be rebuilt,” Mr Singh said.

“This project is all about providing improved facilities for the many people who spend time at the Gardens taking part in the many activities including workshops, open days, meetings and social events.

“The Coffs Regional Community Gardens prides itself on its focus on gardening, education, connection and community and I congratulate the volunteers for creating such a welcoming space in our city.”

The Coffs Coast secured more than $440,000 in funding for local infrastructure projects in the 2025 Community Building Partnership Program.
