As part of Allara’s focus on the environment and community wellbeing, on Sunday 3rd November over 25 Allara residents participated in  the community’s third annual planting day! Over 494 plants were planted across three selected beds in the exciting new park located along Impressions Drive.   

A number of different types of plants were chosen to compliment the landscape at Allara while encouraging a sense of community, taking pride in the surrounds we call home including;

• Acacia saligna prostrate 
• Dampiera linearis 
• Eremophila glabra
• Grevillea obtusifolia 'Ging Gin Gem’ 
• Hemiandra pungens ‘Alba'
• Lomandra longifolia and 
• Patersonia occidentalis 

‘Planting days are a fantastic opportunity for residents to get together and play a role in building the thriving community at Allara. While the mums, dads and grandparents grabbed a shovel to help with some of the heavier lifting, our littlest residents used small hand spades to plant the smaller greenery. 

So many residents commented on how nice it was to play a part in the establishment of the garden beds in the new park and would be looking forward to watching them grow.’ Described Katie Dixon, Allara Estate Community Development Officer
