Adelaide Hills gardens of hope

The Cudlee Creek bushfire, which burned in the final week of 2019, destroyed 98 homes. It affected the towns and communities of:

• Cudlee Creek,
• Lobethal,
• Woodside,
• Brukunga,
• Harrogate,
• Charleston,
• Lenswood,
• Gumeracha,
• Kenton Valley,
• Montacute, and
• Mt Torrens.

To date, only three of these homes have been re-built with a further 53 are under construction.

 

A $40,000 grant from Bendigo Bank’s SA Bushfire Appeal will assist residents. Once their homes are complete, it will go to rebuilding and replanting their gardens.

This will provide a visual relief from fire-damaged landscapes. The project aims to re-establish a sense normality to the affected communities.

Community Enterprise Foundation is proud to be working with Habitat for Humanity South Australia to support the delivery of the Gardens of Hope project.
