WORKSHOP IN COFFS TO DISCUSS BOTANIC GARDEN’S FUTURE

The future of the regional Botanic Garden in Coffs Harbour will be discussed at a public workshop this week.

An advisory committee will be established to provide support for the State Park Trust responsible for the leafy oasis.

Council is also keen to implement a new management structure, required by the state government, which owns the land.

A volunteer group is concerned about suggestions in a draft plan that garden facilities should be more profitable.

The workshop will be held between 4 and 6pm this Wednesday at the CEX Coffs Club.
