Today the location of the Fitzgibbon Community Garden, in the past this was the location of one of the rail crossing gatekeepers’ huts. The rail crossing connected Norris and Dorville Roads.
An original part of the Fitzgibbon Chase development, the Community Garden, known then as the Green Hub, offers a great place for residents to connect, learn, share ideas, and of course, to garden. The Green Hub was gifted to the community by Economic Development Queensland for the purpose of enhancing the local environment and nurturing a community garden.
More than two and a half years of planning and preparation went in to the development of the Green Hub, and the first crops were planted in August 2013.
