STORY

The Coal Loader Platform Community Garden is set in a former Coal Loader industrial site where coal was delivered, stockpiled and transferred to passenger and cargo ships until the early 1990s. The site is now The Coal Loader Centre for Sustainability which includes the Coal Loader Platform, community gardens, allotments, community native nursery and many other interesting facilities.

The Coal Loader Platform Community Garden was opened in 2018 and has an enthusiastic group of members aged 1 – 90 years old, many of whom have been part of the group since day one. Members gather on Saturday mornings to share the gardening experience.
