Donations
Donations made to the Friends are managed through a trust fund and can only be spent on Arboretum projects. Donations may be made - or sought - for nominated projects or, if a general donation, pooled to support a current or future project.
Projects are selected by the Friends Council from proposals that have been identified through consultation with the Arboretum Executive and that meet the general criteria of providing beautification and enhancing the local community and visitor experience at the Arboretum.
Donations so far have led to the establishment of the Dairy Farmers Hill Garden, Zig Zag Garden 19
(Saltbush), the Ngala tour bus, the Friends Forest Shelter and more.
All Friends trust account funds are protected by law and can only be released with the approval of our
appointed trustees for Arboretum projects.
All donations over $2 are tax deductable. See our registered charity status at the
Australian Charities and Not for Profits Commission Website
