On Sat 30 November 2024, Green Skills Inc and the Denmark Kwoorabup Community Garden group ran an open afternoon, volunteer appreciation event and launch of a pilot community compost hub. Around twenty-five people attended this educational event that celebrated volunteers and the exciting new initiative for the Denmark Community.

Don Hunt, community garden coordinator showed people around the garden, Shire of Denmark President, Cr Kingsley Gibson, Green Skills Inc chairperson, Ashleigh Murch, Basil Schur of Green Skills Inc, and Great Southern Living Soils’ Kim Frankowiak spoke at the Compost Hub launch. Music was provided by local band, Trip Hazzard, and a BBQ was enjoyed by many of the regular volunteers in the Denmark Kwoorabup Community Garden.

The event was supported by Green Skills, Denmark CRC and WA Department of Communities Thank a Volunteer Day Grant Program 2024. The WA Government’s Waste Authority has committed support for the compost hub through a Waste Sorted educational grant in 2025.
