The Tasmanian Government is committed to ensuring all Tasmanians have access to healthy and nutritious food. That is why the Tasmanian Government has developed Food Relief to Food Resilience – Tasmanian Food Security Strategy 2021-24. The Strategy directly supports place-based solutions to increasing food security.
Community gardens are critical to providing Tasmanians’ access to free or low-cost fresh, nutritious food. Community gardens provide an opportunity for people to come together and participate in community life, connect with the environment, and develop valuable skills.
To support community food resilience and strengthen food systems the Neighbourhood Houses Community Garden Grant Program will provide funding for essential community garden equipment, supplies and infrastructure that will support Neighbourhood Houses to increase community food access and food security through their gardens.
Grants of up to $5,000 per Tasmanian Neighbourhood House are available. The total funding pool is $100,000.
The grant is to be used to fund community garden infrastructure, equipment, and supplies that will support Neighbourhood Houses to increase food access and food security for community members by either establishing or maintaining a community garden.
Eligible items include:
All applicants funded under this Grants Program must comply with any COVID-19 requirements and restrictions for events in place at the time of their event, including the Tasmanian Government’s A Framework for COVID-19 Safe Events and Activities in Tasmania.
