Everyone has a role to play in creating a healthy environment and future.
Did you know 75% of land in Wollongong is private property? The remaining 25% is made up of our streets, park, natural areas and other public spaces.
You can make a difference
All our homes and gardens connect to create a huge amount of space. Have a think about what you can you do on your property to help create a healthier future.
- Grow more herbs or small flowering plants in pots on balconies and courtyards
- Create an edible or habitat garden
- Add more plants to your spaces, including local Illawarra or Australian natives
- Do you have space to plant a tree with a large canopy?
- Can you add a verge garden, vertical garden or even create a rooftop garden?
What else can you do?
We're here to help by providing free trees, encouraging verge gardens and providing advice and assistance.
