We signed a nominal lease with the City of Busselton in August 2023, securing the location behind the day-care centre, next to the Wadandi track. The Vasse developers will assist with all the earth/site works, along with the engineering plans and it will be lodged with the City of Busselton for development approval soon. Once the development application is approved, building can commence! See pictures below of drafted plans for shed and garden facilities. Rio Tinto has recently come on board as a new sponsor, providing funds for future fencing. Ben Ryan Builders are kindly offering the building services to install the shed, and Belle from Rebelle Agency is now providing graphic design and marketing services. So thankful and very lucky to have received so much support from all our sponsors to help us make all the progress this year. Looking forward to much more in 2024! We held our AGM in October and we have some new faces on the Committee. We would like to acknowledge and thank our outgoing committee members Alana and the two Matts. The incoming committee are: President : Steve Tunbridge Secretary: Junee MacDonald Treasurer: Julieanne Clements Fundraising Manger: Sonya Henderson Social Media Manager: Joy Hu Garden Manager: Duncan Henderson Garden Maintenance: Mac MacDonald Grant Manager: Jo Ryan-Smith Read on for some tips on growing summer tomatoes and lettuce. Merry Christmas! from the team at Vasse Community Garden Hello everyone and welcome back to the Vasse Community Garden. It has been some time waiting for the wheels to turn, and get the various approvals and paperwork sorted between State Departments and Busselton Council. We are pleased to tell you we are getting close!
The lease for the land will hopefully go before Busselton Council on 22nd June. Cross fingers it will be approved on the 22nd and we can finally sign the lease and get moving. |
