City of Greater Geraldton opens EOI process for not-for-profit groups to manage Mitchell St Community Garden

The City of Greater Geraldton is seeking expressions of interest from local not-for-profit groups to take over management of the Mitchell Street Community Garden. The garden was established in 2020 to provide those living in the area with access to fresh produce, while also promoting sustainability, education and community collaboration. City mayor Jerry Clune said the impact for Spalding residents would be brilliant if the garden had a devoted community-led force behind it. “Community gardens are more than just gardening and growing produce, the health and wellbeing benefits are fantastic,” he said. “We would love to see a local not-for-profit group seize the opportunity to run our Mitchell Street Community Garden and see this space grow and empower locals.” The garden is located next to the Mitchell Street Community Centre and AMC Park, and is part of the Spalding revitalisation project which was completed last year. Expressions of interest are now open and will close at 5pm on Monday, September 1. For more information and to view the expressions of interest, head to the city’s website.
