The Hilltop Hub Community and McConnell Reserve Native Community Garden groups have advocated hard to keep McConnell Reserve West in Marino in public hands. The local community formed the native garden on the western side last year and have put in many hours of work.
Our local community rallied at short notice over the March long weekend and were successful in saving the reserve again, after Counsellor Crossland made another attempt to cash in community land.
Thank you to the many councillors who did not support this motion and the community who rallied for a cause. It’s so important to keep community land in community hands
Congratulations to our beautiful Marino community for sticking up for public land
We look forward to celebrating with you at our Neighbour Day picnic on March 29th. All welcome.
