Expressions of Interest - The Paddock

The Paddock is inviting Expressions of Interest (EOIs) from organisations that share our commitment to building a fairer, more connected community from the ground up. We are currently seeking EOIs for projects and initiatives planned for 2026 and 2027.

We are particularly interested in partnering with:
- existing initiatives looking to scale or expand their impact
- new project ideas seeking to be brought to life through The Paddock.

Priority will be given to initiatives that:
- strengthen food security
- expand learning and education opportunities
- create inclusive skills pathways
- respond to emerging community needs
- contribute to long-term, sustainable outcomes.

Located on seven acres in Leopold, The Paddock Community Farm includes:
- a woodworking shed
- commercial nursery
- catering facilities
- five 400sqm vegetable plots
- a chook pen
- a fruit orchard.

Our goal is to cultivate a collaborative environment where projects can connect, share knowledge, and grow together.

Please complete the short EOI form below by 1 July 2026.

Please note that all project initiatives are expected to be independently managed and financially sustainable.

If you would like further information before submitting your EOI please contact the paddock@givewhereyoulive.com.au
