Verge Gardens: How can law help secure verge gardens as part of a more sustainable and liveable urban landscape?

  • Macquarie University Wallumattagal Campus 16 Wally's Walk, Level 1, Room 1.27 Macquarie Park NSW 2113 AU (map)

Please join Dr Paul J Govind, Professor Peter Davies and Professor Donna Houston, SMART GREEN CITIES RESEARCH CENTRE for a multidisciplinary discussion.

Verge gardening continues to rise in popularity across Greater Sydney as communities seek to realise the benefits of integrating nature into neighbourhoods. The role of law in facilitating and promoting verge gardens is complex and often opaque. However, legal frameworks can and should be implemented to promote the cultivation, retention and flourishing of verge gardens, providing a valuable boost to urban sustainability and liveability.

All welcome.

BYO lunch. Tea, coffee and a sweet snack will be provided.
