The ‘Neighbourhood Centre's 'programs had been influenced by the needs of families living in the area and using the centre. Programs included a play group, work experience opportunities, information technology, financial management,nutritious meals, book and movie discussions, meditation, and a Justice of the Peace service. Now a group of people, originally from Nepal, had settled in the area and wereinterested in growing vegetables, particularly those types that were linked to their home country and not readily available in Australia. The Nepalese are predominantly vegetarians. They lacked the space where they lived to garden effectively. A spokesperson for the group approached the ‘Neighbourhood Centre' to ask if the centre might assist.
The first issue that the ‘Neighbourhood Centre' had to address was to find a suitable area for the garden. It's shop front location was on a major road which meant that it needed to form a partnership with an organisation that had land suitable for gardening and would agree for the ‘Neighbourhood Centre' to use it. Also required was a storage facility for the gardening equipment. The location was important as it needed to be reasonably accessible for people using public transport.There were other needs such as requiring financial support for equipment and training in safety awareness for machinery and fertiliser etc. Previously in a nearby suburb another‘Neighbourhood Centre' had failed with their community garden because of repeated vandalism, so some assistance would be required so to secure the garden area. Another consideration was whether the Nepalese group would lead the gardening and involve others in its use.
