COMMUNITY GARDEN AUSTRALIA<\/strong>\u00a0has been working with local government and new community garden groups to formulate community garden management plans.<\/p>\n

What follows is a set of common topics that community gardeners have found useful in devising a management plan. This is followed by link to examples of community garden management plans.<\/p>\n

The plans are proactive and need not be complicated. Their advantage lies in setting up decision making, conflict resolution, communication and planning processes before garden development starts. Time spend in developing management plans is seldom wasted.<\/p>\n

Devising a management plan should be the second activity undertaken by a new community garden groups, following the\u00a0formation of the core group<\/strong>\u00a0and before\u00a0applying for access<\/strong>\u00a0to land (which includes submission of the management plan and draft design). Once access is given and\u00a0legal details\u00a0<\/strong>are finalised, then you can start the\u00a0design and construction<\/strong>\u00a0of the community garden.<\/p>\n
