Parkcare

What is Parkcare? 

Our Parkcare program aims for ecological sustainable management of our region’s parks and reserves through community ownership of the natural environment.

We support community members to become actively involved in Parkcare group activities.

How to start a new Parkcare project 

Before getting your hands dirty, you should take these three essential steps first:

  1. Collect information and talk to others

    • Find out if there is interest in your project from others in the local area and find out who owns the land
  2. Prepare a plan for your site

    • Define your aims, and what you are going to do to achieve the aims – our Parkcare program requires you to prepare a plan for your Parkcare project before starting and our Parkcare Team can assist with this
  3. Safety on your site

    • To make sure your site is safe, and to ensure other volunteers' safety isn't compromised Council ask you attend a short on-site safety induction which will be run by our Parkcare Team at your site
