Edible Plant Import Program Survey

Following the community information session that was held on 24 June 2026 regarding the funding received for the import of edible plants to Norfolk Island, RDA Mid North Coast & Norfolk Island is now seeking your input to further progress this project. The purpose of this survey is to determine the sorts of plants people are interested in or are currently growing.

We have taken on feedback received at the information session and are also seeking information from you on what is currently being grown on Norfolk Island and if you'd be willing to make any plants available for propagating. We're also trying to ascertain what skills are on the island for growing / propagation, the types of skills people are interested in learning and what current resources are already on the island.

If you are interested in participating in this program, either as an existing grower or as someone who is looking to start growing, please complete the survey below.

Disclaimer: Plants listed here are examples and there is no guarantee that they will be able to be imported or sourced locally as part of this program.

Please complete this survey by 30 September 2026.
