Where and when?
We are working with City of Ryde to create a community run native plant propagation area and community food garden at Santa Rosa Park
on Quarry Road in Ryde. See our nursery flyer with a location map
here (230KB).
It has taken since October 2008 to get this far however we are making progress. In August 2010 the nursery was approved by Council
to be at Santa Rosa Park. We are currently working with Council to get through the Council paperwork in order to
commence building. In October 2011 the land was re-categorised
as "Community Open Space". The Master Plan has been changed but has still to go on public exhibition before adoption.
Next will be the changes to the Plan of Management.
We have funding from the 2010 NSW Government's Community Building Partnership program (CBP) which will be sufficient to
get this project up and running. Thank you to Victor Dominello MP for his faith in us and to the NSW Government.
We are hoping to start the 1st stage of development by April 2012.
