Parks and Property Maintenance

northside mowingNundah Community Enterprises Co-operative currently maintain 20 Brisbane City Council parks on the north side of Brisbane and the Nundah Village.

NCEC’s relationship with BCC was established in 2001 with the development of a flexible contractual tool
(Memorandum Of Understanding).

The development of The Parks Project is a reflection of Council’s commitment to include marginalised groups in
community and foster social procurement opportunities.

NCEC also have a contract with Main Roads to mow and maintain some open areas on the north side of Brisbane. 
The success of these contracts has been instrumental in the development and growth of NCEC.

These contracts provide NCEC members with regular income, job security and training who may have previously been excluded from employment.

With the assistance of various grants over the years from Paul Newman Foundation, Jupiters Casino Community
Benefit Fund and BCC, NCEC has been able to purchase equipment to meet the demand of increased contracts.

The NCEC Parks crew are a hardworking, multi skilled group of people who are committed to their jobs and the
service they provide for the community.  They constantly embrace the challenge of mastering new skills and are
currently anticipating the purchase of a new ride on mower.
