Gunnedah Urban Landcare Group


The Gunnedah Urban Landcare Group (GULG) is a community-driven organization dedicated to environmental conservation and enhancement within the township of Gunnedah and its surrounding areas. Their initiatives focus on habitat restoration, community gardening, and the development of recreational spaces that harmonize with the natural environment.

Key Projects and Initiatives:

  • Pensioners Hill Reserve Enhancement: GULG has significantly contributed to the beautification of Pensioners Hill Reserve. In October 2023, they collaborated with the Gunnedah West Rotary Club to open a new playground designed to blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings. This addition includes timber structures and equipment aimed at encouraging outdoor exploration among children.
  • Community Garden at Gunnedah TAFE: GULG manages a community garden located on the Gunnedah TAFE campus. This volunteer-driven initiative features vegetable and herb plots, as well as greenhouses for plant propagation, fostering community engagement and sustainable gardening practices.
  • Koala Habitat Restoration Efforts: GULG has been actively involved in projects aimed at protecting and restoring koala habitats in the Gunnedah region. In November 2024, they sought funding for the "Habitat and Water Restoration to Maintain Gunnedah Koalas Project," which aimed to establish wildlife corridors and install drinking stations for koalas. Although a $100,000 grant was not secured due to a perceived conflict of interest, the group's commitment to koala conservation remains steadfast.

Community Engagement:

GULG actively participates in local events to raise awareness and involve the community in their initiatives. For instance, they have been present at events like the Multicultural Market Day in Worsley Park, offering a selection of plants and promoting their activities.

Contact Information:

Individuals interested in participating in GULG's activities or seeking more information can reach out via email at gulg2380@gmail.com. Additionally, they maintain an active presence on Facebook, providing updates on projects and events.

Through these projects and community involvement, the Gunnedah Urban Landcare Group continues to play a vital role in enhancing the environmental and social fabric of the Gunnedah region.
