Gardens Without Borders Survey 2022

In urban contexts with growing population density, residents are embracing previously ignored, ‘in-between’ public spaces as offering potential to support greater ecosystem services. Roadside vegetation on street verges (footpaths) can play an important role in contributing to urban ecosystem services and public greenspace.\r\n\r\nTownsville City Council invited residents to complete the Gardens without Borders survey to help inform Council of the aims and goals of our local community and shape upcoming roadmaps for gardening in the urban environment specifically for ‘in-between’ spaces and ‘common-ground’ (public gardens) land spaces.\r\n\r\nPublic consultation regarding Gardens without Borders gathered valuable community feedback on the proposal. \r\n\r\nThis report identifies and captures all feedback associated with the project and serves as a public document to close the loop on the engagement process. The findings contained herein are presented in their entirety and draw no conclusions or recommendations on project or strategy outcomes going forward.\r\n
