Parks and gardens community volunteer program

Parks and gardens community volunteer program assists interested volunteer groups by providing advice, training, support and materials and equipment to conduct works in selected parks.

Red Bottlebush

There are over 350 local neighbourhood parks in the Sunshine Coast region. Each of these are there to provide an enormous range of activities, amenity and open space for the community to enjoy. Sunshine Coast Council offers all residents and their family and friends the opportunity to become a steward of local parks in your neighbourhood.

Being involved in a community volunteer parks and garden project is a great way to:

  • meet your neighbours
  • help teach children about nature
  • get outdoors and active (research does show that gardening may benefit your physical and mental health in many ways).

Through this you can share ideas and knowledge, learn new skills and gain practical ‘green thumb’ experience to take home. You may even start building skills for a future career in horticulture. All these things make a real difference in keeping our parks looking beautiful. They also help our environment by providing habitat for local birds, butterflies and other native fauna.

The Parks and Gardens community volunteer program assists interested volunteer groups by providing advice, training, support, materials and equipment to conduct works in selected parks across the region.

How to get involved

There are many ways to join in the gardening fun:

  • join an existing group in your local area
  • establish a new group with your friends and neighbours
