Celebrate The Docklands Garden
The Garden is a symbol of the Docklands community and sustainable lifestyles in the city. It is a flourishing example of what is possible in Docklands and is a great opportunity to help the Docklands streets and walkways come alive.
To date, the Garden has hosted an Eco-Market with over 1000 attendees, held a dinner in the garden where local residents and businesses took part and is proud of a strong volunteer program including Docklands NAB and ANZ employees and local residents. We’re happy to report Vic Urban has just renewed the Garden’s land lease for another year to come. We look forward to continue to work with the community and to build on the momentum it has created.
With the growing support of the Docklands community, the Garden can continue to seed and grow local opportunities into a lively precinct.
