MEMBERSHIP:

Membership of the allotment association is by invitation and open to anyone living in Melbourne and the surrounding area. 

APPLICATION:

Vacant allotments are offered initially to the existing members to allow those members wishing to increase or decrease their commitment to growing their own produce. Remaining vacant plots are then offered to people on a waiting list on the basis of first-come-first-served. On the rare occasion that vacant plots remain, they are advertised in the local press and on notice boards.

MAKING A START

Plots are offered as units of approximately 300 square yards .

Newcomers may apply for a single plot. Existing members may request an additional plot [max 2]. 

COST OF MEMBERSHIP:

As a none-profit “mutual” organisation, fees are set to ensure access to the allotments is fair and affordable to a cross section of the community. Current fees are explained on application. 

Fees consist of a one-off, non-refundable member “share” fee plus an annual “maintenance” or “upkeep” fee per plot  The gardening year runs April – March.
