Adopt-a-Spot proposal form

Adopt-a-Spot – part of Council's Living Streets program – allows community groups, schools, businesses, and individuals to enhance and take care of a nominated area of Council-managed land other than verges or community gardens.

Adopt-a-Spot activities might include gardening, habitat creation, wildlife watching or citizen science projects.

Before commencing an Adopt-a-Spot, residents must register their proposed Adopt-a-Spot idea and meet with Council's Urban Ecology team to discuss the proposal.
